A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that give it a crisp, high-fashion texture. Serifs are fine and often tapered or lightly bracketed, with occasional calligraphic terminals and small entry/exit strokes that add flow without becoming overly ornamental. Counters are open and the overall rhythm is airy, while capitals are relatively broad and poised, pairing sharp diagonals with thin cross strokes for a polished, editorial look. Numerals and lowercase show gentle curves and occasional swash-like ends, reinforcing a graceful, continuous writing gesture.
Works best for editorial headlines, pull quotes, cover typography, and premium branding where high contrast and an italic voice can shine. It can also suit short-to-medium passages in print-oriented layouts, especially when set with comfortable leading and not pushed to very small sizes.
The tone is sophisticated and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and contemporary luxury branding at the same time. Its restrained flourishes and high-contrast sparkle feel formal and stylish, suited to contexts where refinement and nuance are more important than ruggedness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading model infused with a pronounced italic calligraphic sensibility. Its goal is to provide an elegant, high-contrast voice that feels at home in refined publishing and luxury-facing design.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs may visually recede, while at display sizes the sharp contrast and elegant joins become the primary character. The italic construction is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a unified, flowing color in text.
