A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced contrast between stems and connecting strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic cadence, combining crisp, sharp serifs with tapered entry and exit strokes that often end in fine points. Curves are open and sculpted, with a clear vertical-stress feel and ample white space inside counters, giving the design an airy, high-fidelity rhythm. Numerals follow the same slender, slanted construction, maintaining a consistent, refined texture across mixed text.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle contexts, magazine display typography, and luxury-oriented branding where a refined italic voice is desired. It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium settings where the hairline details can remain visible and the contrast can add drama.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic thin strokes and sweeping italic motion feel expressive yet controlled, lending a sense of exclusivity and editorial polish rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic with a modern, fashion-editorial sensibility—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and graceful motion through tapered strokes and sharp finishing details.
The lowercase shows a distinctly cursive flavor in several forms (notably in the flowing joins and tapered terminals), while capitals remain restrained and statuesque. In larger sizes the fine detailing reads as crisp and precise, and in longer passages the texture stays light and airy due to the narrow joins and open counters.
