A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, combining crisp vertical stems with tapered joins and finely pointed terminals. Capitals are poised and relatively open, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and gently curved descenders. Numerals and punctuation carry the same delicate finishing, giving the overall texture a light, sparkling color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and cultural editorial, pull quotes, title pages, and premium invitations. It can also support short blocks of text at comfortable sizes with ample leading, especially when a refined, classic voice is desired.
The font projects a polished, cultivated tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its bright contrast and graceful italic movement suggest luxury, tradition, and editorial sophistication, with a distinctly literary and fashion-adjacent sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end interpretation of a traditional italic text serif—prioritizing elegance, vertical sparkle, and crisp finishing for editorial and luxury-oriented typography.
Stroke endings are consistently sharp and clean, and the spacing appears tuned for elegant word shapes rather than dense paragraphs. The italic construction is expressive but controlled, with subtle calligraphic cues in curves and entry strokes that help maintain flow across longer lines.
