A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. Letterforms are tall and slightly condensed, with long, tapering entry strokes and sharp terminals that often finish in fine points rather than heavy brackets. Serifs read as minimal and razor-thin, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, polished ovals and a crisp axis. Lowercase features include a single-storey a, a double-storey g with an open loop, and a flowing italic rhythm with occasional swash-like extenders (notably in f, y, and the numerals). Spacing appears tight and controlled, emphasizing a continuous, slanted text color with sparkling highlights from the hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and brand marks where an elegant italic serif can carry the message on its own. It also fits invitations and premium packaging when used at larger sizes or with generous leading to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, balancing restraint with a touch of theatrical contrast. It evokes runway/editorial typography and classic luxury cues, with a graceful, cultivated voice that feels more ceremonial than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: maximizing elegance through slender proportions, dramatic modulation, and refined finishing details for expressive display typography.
In the text sample, the extreme contrast creates a lively shimmer at display sizes, while the narrow proportions and steep italic angle reinforce forward motion. Numerals are similarly stylized, with elegant curves and fine, sharp terminals that match the letterforms.
