A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, sharp bracketless-looking serifs, and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The rhythm leans right with a smooth, calligraphic flow, pairing tall capitals with compact, tidy lowercase proportions. Curves are drawn with crisp transitions and teardrop-like terminals, while the numerals and capitals show refined, high-fashion detailing and a slightly theatrical flare in characters like Q, R, S, and the swashy lowercase forms.
Best suited to display typography where the fine hairlines and elegant contrast can shine—magazine headlines, fashion layouts, luxury packaging, beauty branding, and formal invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, fashion-forward sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and airy strokes feel formal and cultured, evoking premium editorial typography and upscale branding.
Designed to deliver an elevated, couture-like italic voice: light, precise, and expressive, emphasizing refinement and motion over sturdiness. The intent appears to be a modern, editorial serif that adds sophistication and drama to prominent text.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving text a continuous forward motion. At small sizes the hairlines may read as very delicate, while at display sizes the sharp serifs, tight joins, and ornamental terminals become a defining feature.
