A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are slender with razor-thin hairlines and crisp, tapering serifs that read as finely cut rather than heavily bracketed. The italic construction is fluid and slightly calligraphic, with lively entry and exit strokes, a narrow, graceful rhythm, and noticeably varied character widths that give words an animated texture. Numerals and capitals keep the same refined contrast, pairing sharp details with broad, smooth curves.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and branding where elegance is the goal. It can also work well for premium packaging and formal invitations, especially when given generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is sophisticated and aspirational, with a couture, magazine-like sheen. Its high-drama contrast and sweeping italics feel romantic and expressive, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual warmth.
Designed to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic voice with crisp detail and strong contrast, emphasizing grace, motion, and polish over utilitarian text robustness.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and hairline connections become a defining feature, creating a sparkling, high-end surface. In denser settings the extreme modulation and narrow joins can make the texture feel airy and delicate, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence legibility and impact.
