A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-thin hairlines. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, showing tapered terminals and fine, sharply cut serifs that read as hairline accents rather than heavy feet. Curves are generous and open, while joins and entry/exit strokes feel calligraphic, giving the alphabet a lively, fluid texture. Figures follow the same contrast and italic slant, with graceful, elongated strokes that keep the overall color light and luminous on the page.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its hairline detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or journal titling, and elegant brand applications. It can also work for refined invitations or short-form text at comfortable sizes and good printing or screen conditions.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—poised and cultivated rather than casual. Its lightness and high contrast suggest sophistication and restraint, with a hint of classic literary and fashion-editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with crisp contrast and a light typographic color. It prioritizes elegance and expressive italic movement, aiming for premium presentation in headings and curated editorial typography.
In text, the thin horizontals and tight hairlines create a sparkling texture and a distinctly refined silhouette, especially in large sizes. The italic construction is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a cohesive, forward-moving line while keeping counters clear and shapes well differentiated.
