A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline-like serifs. The letters lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining tapered entry strokes and pointed terminals with small, bracketed serifs that stay sharp at display sizes. Capitals are streamlined and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, looped descenders, and lively curves; overall spacing feels open enough to keep the high-contrast forms from clogging. Numerals follow the same italic movement, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that read as refined rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to magazines, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where refined contrast is an asset. It also fits invitations, certificates, and short-form display typography; for longer passages it will benefit from generous size and leading to preserve its airy hairlines.
The tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial typography and formal stationery. Its energetic slant and knife-edge detailing give it a stylish, boutique feel—more about sophistication and flair than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended as an elegant, high-contrast italic serif for expressive, premium communication, emphasizing graceful movement and sharp detailing. It prioritizes visual sophistication and a luxurious typographic color over rugged, all-purpose text durability.
The strongest visual signature is the combination of steep contrast with very fine serifs and tapered strokes, which creates a sparkling texture in longer lines. Distinctive italic forms (notably in letters with loops and descenders) add personality and a slightly expressive, handwritten underpinning without becoming script-like.
