A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins, creating a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. The letterforms show a steep rightward slant with long, tapering entry/exit strokes and fine, sharp serifs that often resolve into pointed terminals. Curves are drawn with a controlled, calligraphic sweep—especially in bowls and diagonals—while capitals maintain generous width and open counters for a light, airy texture. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender stems and graceful curves that match the italic rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline contrast and sweeping italic forms can breathe—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or chapter titling, and upscale branding. It also works well for formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet sense of drama from the extreme contrast and sweeping italics. It reads as sophisticated and romantic rather than sturdy, leaning toward editorial elegance and boutique branding aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctly elegant italic voice within a conventional serif framework, prioritizing contrast, fluid movement, and refined detailing for high-end, display-oriented typography.
The italic construction emphasizes continuous flow across words, with many lowercase forms exhibiting extended ascenders/descenders and tapered terminals that create a lively baseline. At smaller sizes or in dense settings, the hairline details may visually soften, while larger sizes highlight the refined stroke contrast and swash-like finishes.
