A delicate italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are narrow-leaning with a smooth, calligraphic flow, using fine hairlines and crisp, pointed terminals that keep counters airy. Serifs are small and bracketed, and many joins resolve into knife-like connections that emphasize a sleek diagonal rhythm. Capitals are relatively compact with controlled curves, while the lowercase shows lively ascenders/descenders and a graceful, pen-driven construction.
This style excels in fashion and culture magazines, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and luxury branding where a refined italic voice is desired. It works best at display sizes or in short editorial passages where its contrast and delicate hairlines can remain crisp.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, balancing restraint with a sense of drama from the extreme contrast and steep italic angle. It reads as polished and cultured, suited to sophisticated, image-led communication where refinement matters more than rugged durability.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic impression with a pen-informed construction and a bright, high-contrast texture. It prioritizes elegance, sharp detail, and expressive slant for premium editorial and branding settings.
In text, the rhythm is strongly diagonal, with slender spacing and a sparkling texture created by the hairline links and sharp entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-finesse style, with curved forms and fine terminals that feel consistent with the capitals.
