A very slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that emphasize a calligraphic, forward-leaning rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, counters feel airy, and spacing is generous, giving the forms a light, floating texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that suit display sizes.
Best suited to editorial display and refined communication such as magazine features, section heads, pull quotes, and fashion or beauty branding. It also fits formal invitations and premium packaging where elegance and whitespace are part of the aesthetic. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable sizes with ample leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and cultured, projecting a quiet luxury associated with editorial typography and fashion communication. Its light touch and crisp contrast feel poised and sophisticated rather than loud, with an expressive italic movement that adds a subtly romantic, literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic voice with modern cleanliness: high contrast, crisp hairlines, and an unbroken calligraphic flow. It prioritizes sophistication and tonal nuance over robustness, aiming for polished, high-end typography in display-forward contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive slanted flow in text. Hairline joins and thin horizontals make the design feel especially delicate, while the long, tapering terminals and high contrast create sparkle and visual refinement. At smaller sizes the light strokes may appear faint, so the font reads most confidently when given room and size.
