A delicate italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Forms are narrow-to-moderate in set with noticeably calligraphic construction: long entry/exit strokes, tapered terminals, and a consistent forward slant. Serifs read as fine wedges or hairline flicks rather than heavy brackets, and many glyphs show extended curves and subtle swash-like tails (notably in capitals such as Q, R, and S). The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height, giving ascenders and descenders more visual presence and creating an airy, high-fashion rhythm in text.
Best suited for display typography where its hairline contrast and italic movement can remain crisp: magazine/editorial headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, invitations, and luxury branding or packaging. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print at comfortable sizes, especially when paired with ample leading and a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining classic editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its refined contrast and flowing italic motion suggest luxury, romance, and high-end print culture rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing elegance, motion, and ornamental detailing. The prominent capitals and tapered terminals suggest a focus on expressive titles and refined brand language rather than purely functional, long-form reading.
Capitals are particularly stylized, with sweeping curves and occasional long hairline strokes that can add sparkle but may require generous spacing in display settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and italic slant, with slender shapes and elegant curves that visually align with the letterforms.
