A slender italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, crisp hairline serifs, and a strong thick-to-thin rhythm that reads as refined and delicate. The capitals are tall and linear with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows lively cursive modulation, narrow apertures, and occasional looped forms (notably in letters like g) that add softness to the otherwise taut construction. Spacing and proportions favor a compact, elongated silhouette, giving text a continuous, forward-leaning cadence and a distinctly polished texture.
Best suited to display and short text where its hairline detailing and elongated italic rhythm can be appreciated—fashion branding, magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, invitations, and premium packaging. It can also serve as a stylish accent in layouts when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a couture/editorial feel. Its lightness and sharp detailing suggest luxury and discretion rather than warmth, conveying an upscale, contemporary classicism.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice: tall, narrow proportions combined with sharp contrast and fine serifs to create a sleek, premium impression. Its character favors elegance and motion over neutrality, positioning it as a distinctive display option for refined branding and editorial use.
In the sample text, the italic slant and narrow set create a flowing line that emphasizes vertical strokes and fine joins, producing an energetic yet controlled texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and hairline finishing that align visually with the letterforms.
