A delicate italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes. The letterforms are slightly right-leaning with smooth, calligraphic curves and finely finished, wedge-like serifs that often resolve into needle points. Counters are open and rounded, terminals are crisp and lightly flared, and the overall rhythm feels even despite the dynamic stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender joins and graceful curves that keep the set visually consistent.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty layouts, and refined brand systems where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also perform in short-to-medium text passages at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
The design conveys luxury and composure, balancing cool precision with a handwritten, high-style fluidity. Its thin detailing and dramatic contrast give it a polished, couture-like tone that feels modern yet rooted in classical book and magazine typography.
Likely intended as a sophisticated italic for display-led typography that can still read smoothly in text, combining classical high-contrast serif structure with a graceful, contemporary italic movement. The design prioritizes elegance, lightness, and sharp finishing details to create a premium, editorial voice.
The italic construction is pronounced in both capitals and lowercase, with long, elegant entry/exit strokes and narrow joins that create a lively texture in running text. The uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase maintains a light, quick cadence; together they produce a bright page color that benefits from generous sizing and comfortable line spacing.
