A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong thick–thin modulation, and sharp, tapered terminals. Letterforms lean smoothly with a consistent rightward slant, combining long, sweeping curves with compact joins and minimal bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and open, with narrow internal counters and finely drawn cross-strokes; the lowercase shows a traditional italic rhythm with a single-storey a and g, a long-descending j, and a high-contrast, calligraphic flow. Numerals match the text color with similarly fine strokes and elegant curves, maintaining an overall light, sparkling texture on the page.
Well suited to magazine typography, cultural/editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand systems where a light, high-contrast italic can carry a premium voice. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations and short-form printed matter, especially when set at moderate to large sizes to preserve its fine detailing.
The font projects a poised, high-end tone associated with editorial refinement and fashion-forward sophistication. Its airy stroke weight and polished contrast feel formal and curated, while the italic movement adds a sense of motion and grace.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic serif with a distinctly high-contrast, fashion/editorial sensibility—prioritizing grace, sparkle, and typographic sophistication over robust, utilitarian texture.
In running text, the bright hairlines and sharp details create a crisp, shimmering cadence that rewards generous sizing and comfortable line spacing. The most distinctive character comes from the pointed entry/exit strokes and the pronounced contrast in curved letters, which together emphasize a luxurious, display-leaning personality even in paragraph settings.
