A delicate italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The design uses long, sweeping entry and exit strokes, sharp tapered terminals, and fine bracketed serifs that read as pointed and lightly cupped. Proportions are open and slightly expansive, with generous sidebearings and a lively, slanted rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and numerals follow the same italic stress with elegant diagonal energy and thin crossbars.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book jackets, pull quotes, and formal invitations. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or large digital sizes, but the hairline strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast rendering environments.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing editorial sophistication with a distinctly graceful, fashion-forward flair. Its flowing forms and razor-thin details convey luxury and formality while still feeling animated and contemporary in setting.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic serif voice with heightened elegance and theatrical stroke contrast, optimized for expressive titling and refined brand moments. Its wide, airy spacing and sweeping terminals aim to create a distinctive, upscale texture rather than dense text color.
Capitals show pronounced swash-like shaping in several letters, and the lowercase includes single-storey forms with long ascenders and descenders that create a strong vertical cadence. Punctuation and figures appear similarly refined, with fine joins and delicate finishing strokes that emphasize contrast and movement.
