This typeface is a delicate italic serif with extreme stroke modulation: hairline horizontals and sharp, tapered joins contrasted against slightly fuller verticals. Serifs are fine and wedge-like, often resolving into pointed terminals, giving many strokes a calligraphic, drawn-with-a-pen feel. The overall rhythm is narrow and upright-leaning for an italic, with tall capitals, long ascenders/descenders, and generous internal whitespace that keeps the texture light and sparkling. Curves are smooth and controlled, and numerals follow the same refined, thin-and-thick logic with crisp, high-contrast forms.
It suits headline and display roles where fine detail can be appreciated—fashion and lifestyle editorial, luxury packaging and branding, event invitations, and short, elegant statements. For longer passages, it will perform best in high-quality print or large, well-spaced settings where the hairlines remain clear.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking couture editorial typography and high-end print design. Its thin hairlines and sharp finishing details read as sophisticated and formal, with a graceful, slightly dramatic presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and meticulously sharpened terminals. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama over robustness, aiming for a crisp, premium texture in display-led compositions.
In the text sample, the tight hairlines and pointed terminals create a bright, shimmering line, especially in mixed-case and in punctuation-heavy phrases. The italic construction feels integral rather than merely slanted, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a consistent diagonal stress across the alphabet and figures.
