A delicate italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled, creating a polished, high-waisted silhouette. The italic construction is pronounced, with narrow entry strokes and sweeping diagonals that give letters a graceful forward motion. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expansive (notably the round letters and the Q’s long, curling tail), while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with slender stems and airy counters; numerals follow the same refined contrast and light touch.
Best suited to display contexts where its thin hairlines and contrast can print or render cleanly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, high-end branding, and event or wedding materials. It can also work for short, well-sized text passages in controlled settings, but will reward generous sizing and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, evoking fashion publishing, fine stationery, and classic literary titling. Its hairline details and sweeping italic gestures feel dramatic yet restrained, conveying sophistication more than exuberance.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: glamorous, sharp, and spacious, prioritizing elegance and expressive gesture over rugged versatility. It is built to create a refined typographic voice for premium, editorial-led applications.
Spacing appears intentionally open to preserve the fragile hairlines, and the design leans on vertical stress with prominent tapered strokes. The ampersand and italic capitals carry a distinctly ornamental flair, while the lowercase maintains a calmer texture suitable for short passages at comfortable sizes.
