A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. The letterforms are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders and a consistently right-leaning rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, and many strokes terminate in pointed, calligraphic endings rather than blunt cuts, giving the design a crisp, drawn quality. Counters are relatively open despite the slim proportions, and the overall color stays light and airy, especially in continuous text.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline detail and contrast can remain clear—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging. It also works well for formal invitations or short editorial passages where a light, refined typographic voice is desired.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and graceful italic movement evoke sophistication and formality, leaning toward fashion, culture, and luxury contexts rather than utilitarian copy.
The design appears intended as a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a luminous page texture. Its proportions and sharp terminals suggest a focus on expressive typography for sophisticated editorial and brand settings.
In the samples, capitals show restrained, classic construction with refined hairline serifs, while lowercase forms emphasize fluidity and vertical elegance. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic and appear designed to harmonize with the italic text rather than stand apart as rigid figures.
