This typeface is a hairline, high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly vertical stress and razor-thin connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while thick strokes read as narrow, polished wedges that taper into needle-like terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply pointed, with a lightly calligraphic sweep in entry and exit strokes. Proportions lean tall and slender, giving the alphabet a taut, streamlined rhythm; spacing appears measured to preserve whiteness around delicate joins and counters. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing narrow forms with rounded figures that keep the contrast and italic slant consistent.
Best suited to high-end display typography such as magazine headings, brand wordmarks, beauty and fragrance packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where ample size and careful reproduction preserve the fine hairlines and sharp details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sophistication. Its sheen and delicacy suggest formality and precision rather than warmth or robustness, creating an impression of quiet confidence and premium craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif voice: dramatic contrast, precise terminals, and a controlled slant that elevates simple copy into an elegant statement.
Because many strokes collapse to extremely thin hairlines, the design reads most clearly at display sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals can remain crisp. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a continuous, flowing texture in text lines.
