A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a sharply tapered, hairline finish. Letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, using long, pointed entry strokes and finely cut wedge serifs that often feel blade-like rather than bracketed. Curves are generously drawn (notably in rounds like C, O, Q, and e), while joins and terminals stay crisp and precise, giving the face a bright, polished texture. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a lively rhythm created by varied stroke widths and gently swelling curves; figures are similarly slender and high-contrast with elegant, sweeping diagonals.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text in controlled settings—magazine headlines and decks, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and invitation or certificate typography. It can also work for pull quotes or refined subheads where an elegant italic voice is desired, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, conveying luxury and editorial polish rather than neutrality. Its airy hairlines and dramatic contrast suggest a cultivated, high-style voice suited to refined messaging and expressive typography.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with a classic serif foundation, prioritizing elegance, motion, and typographic sparkle. The emphasis on razor-thin hairlines, tapered terminals, and sweeping curves suggests an intention to perform as a premium editorial and branding face rather than an everyday workhorse text italic.
The design emphasizes grace and motion: many characters feature extended, tapered terminals and sharp beaks that add sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears relatively open for such a high-contrast italic, helping keep lines from feeling overly dense while still preserving a distinctly formal, dressy character.
