A delicate italic serif with sharply modulated strokes and a pronounced diagonal axis. Curves are smooth and open, with thin hairlines and concentrated weight in key stress points, producing a crisp, sparkling texture. Terminals and serifs feel tapered and slightly flared rather than blunt, and many joins come to fine points, reinforcing a calligraphic construction. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with graceful, sweeping capitals and a flowing lowercase that keeps counters relatively open for an italic of this sharpness.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine hairlines and pointed details can remain intact—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for short subheads or introductory text when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and stylish, leaning toward an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its high refinement and sharp details give it a slightly dramatic voice that reads as premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on a classic italic serif for high-end editorial typography: dramatic contrast, graceful motion, and a polished silhouette that elevates titles and brand statements.
The uppercase shows classic italic forms with energetic diagonals and sculpted curves (notably in letters like Q, R, and S), while the lowercase maintains a consistent rightward slant and lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with fine hairlines and tapered endings that keep the set visually cohesive in display contexts.
