A delicate italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with pointed terminals and a crisp, engraved feel rather than rounded or bracketed finishes. The italics show a steady rightward slant and a flowing rhythm, with narrow joins and pronounced contrast that creates bright internal counters and slender horizontals. Capitals are sleek and lofty, while lowercase forms are more calligraphic in motion, with occasional long entry/exit strokes and a distinctly drawn, editorial texture. Numerals match the same refined contrast, with thin diagonal/horizontal elements and sculpted curves.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine features, fashion/beauty headlines, book or journal titling, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short passages like pull quotes or opening paragraphs when set at larger sizes, where its fine details and contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is upscale and cultivated—suited to high-end editorial and brand aesthetics where a sense of luxury, poise, and drama is desirable. Its high contrast and sharp detailing read as fashionable and ceremonial, with a classic, literary sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and precise, knife-edged serif detailing. It prioritizes elegance and expressive rhythm over utilitarian robustness, aiming for a polished editorial presence.
In text, the font’s hairline strokes and pointed serifs create a shimmering texture that favors generous sizing and comfortable leading. Curved letters show graceful, tensioned arcs, and several lowercase shapes (notably those with descenders and tails) add a subtly expressive, almost swash-like cadence without becoming overtly decorative.
