A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation: thick, tapered stems paired with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, needle-like serifs. The forms show a strong rightward slant and a vertical-stress feel, with small apertures and tightly drawn joins that keep counters crisp. Capitals are tall and sculptural, while the lowercase is compact with long, sweeping ascenders/descenders and teardrop-like terminals on several letters. Figures follow the same calligraphic contrast, reading refined rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, lookbooks, and premium packaging where the fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits formal materials like invitations, certificates, and elegant titling, especially when generous spacing and high-quality output preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a couture-like elegance and a slightly theatrical, editorial sparkle. Its light touch and sharp detailing suggest sophistication, ceremony, and a curated, high-end sensibility.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic with classical serif proportions—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement over neutrality. The aim is a refined display voice that adds glamour and emphasis to titles and short passages.
In text, the rhythm is lively and slanted, with thin connecting strokes that create a shimmering texture at larger sizes. The sharp serifs and fine hairlines give it a crisp silhouette on white space, and the italic movement is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
