A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and sharply tapered with a lightly calligraphic, engraved feel rather than rigid geometry. Curves show diagonal stress, and terminals often end in fine hooks or teardrop-like finishes, giving the outlines a lively, sweeping rhythm. Uppercase forms are slender and poised, while lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with graceful ascenders and descenders and a gently flowing italic slant.
This face is well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, pull quotes, and refined headlines where its italic energy and high-contrast detailing can shine. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury brand materials, especially for logotype-style wordmarks and short, prominent lines.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, evoking editorial sophistication and classic luxury. Its airy hairlines and elegant movement feel formal and cultured, suited to refined messaging rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic voice with heightened elegance—prioritizing graceful motion, fine hairlines, and a cultured, print-oriented texture for expressive typography.
The figures follow the same italic, high-finesse model, with open counters and thin entry/exit strokes that emphasize a light touch. In text, the design reads smoothly at display sizes, but the finest strokes and sharp joins suggest it benefits from adequate size and spacing to preserve clarity.
