A delicate serif italic with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with an overall forward slant and long, tapering terminals that read as finely drawn strokes rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the rhythm is crisp and vertical despite the italic angle, giving capitals a statuesque presence and lowercase a graceful, continuous flow. Numerals follow the same hairline construction, with open counters and elegant curves that keep the texture light on the page.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, deck lines, and refined brand marks where its hairline detail can remain intact. It also works well for invitations and short, elegant statements; for longer passages it benefits from larger sizes and careful spacing to preserve clarity.
The font projects a poised, luxury-oriented tone—polished and fashion-forward rather than utilitarian. Its airy color and sharp contrast feel formal and sophisticated, evoking high-end editorial typography and upscale branding.
Likely drawn to capture the look of high-contrast, fashion-era italics in a contemporary, minimal way—prioritizing elegance, sharp stroke modulation, and a light, refined page color over robustness at small sizes.
Capitals are especially slender and restrained, relying on contrast and elongated forms for emphasis rather than width or weight. The italic construction is consistent across cases, creating a unified, calligraphic sheen that favors display sizing and generous spacing.
