A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with a crisp, polished rhythm, using pointed wedge serifs and fine terminals that often taper to needlelike ends. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and curves show a smooth, controlled stroke logic that reads as carefully drawn rather than mechanical. Numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and steep diagonal stress, giving the set a cohesive, high-fashion texture.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and elegant packaging where its contrast and italic energy can shine. It can also work for short-form editorial typography (captions, decks, and lead-ins) when set with ample size and spacing to protect the fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, projecting luxury and poise with a slightly theatrical edge. Its airy weight and gleaming contrast evoke couture branding, magazine typography, and classic bookish refinement rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-contrast italic voice for premium communication—prioritizing elegance, gesture, and visual drama over rugged versatility. It’s built to look pristine and refined in layouts where typographic finesse is a central part of the aesthetic.
In text, the italic slant and hairline details create a bright, sparkling page color with strong vertical emphasis. The forms feel intentionally graceful and elongated, with sharp entry/exit strokes that heighten the sense of motion and delicacy.
