A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The construction leans on long, smooth curves and tapered terminals, with narrow entry/exit strokes that often finish in small teardrop or wedge-like forms rather than heavy slab endings. Capitals are tall and poised, with gentle, calligraphic stress and occasional flourished details (notably in forms like Q and R), while the lowercase shows fluid joins and a softly looping rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and lightly finished terminals that keep the overall texture crisp and light on the page.
Well-suited for fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined invitations where an airy, upscale italic voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially in layouts that allow generous leading and avoid dense, small-type settings.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—graceful and fashion-forward rather than sturdy or utilitarian. Its thinness and flowing italic movement give it a romantic, editorial feel, suited to designs that aim for sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serif elegance—prioritizing grace, curve quality, and a premium feel for display and editorial applications rather than everyday, rugged text work.
In text, the spacing and slender strokes create an open, bright color, with the italic slant and high contrast producing a lively, shimmering rhythm. The design favors elegance over robustness, so it reads as most successful when given enough size and breathing room to preserve its fine details.
