A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connections. The forms are narrow and vertical in overall stance, with long, tapered entry strokes and sharp, wedge-like serifs that feel more cut than bracketed. Curves are smooth and taut, and many letters show high-waisted proportions with small internal counters (notably in the bowls). The rhythm is airy and sparkling: thin strokes nearly disappear at joins, while stems and primary diagonals carry the weight. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender spines and fine terminals suited to display sizing.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and short passages where its hairlines and contrast can render cleanly. It will perform particularly well in fashion, beauty, and luxury contexts, as well as formal invitations and high-end packaging, where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a poised, couture-like sophistication. Its strong contrast and italic movement give it a dramatic, luxurious presence that reads as premium and style-forward rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic display serif with maximum contrast and a graceful, calligraphic flow. It prioritizes sophistication and sparkle over rugged text robustness, aiming for premium editorial impact in larger sizes.
Italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with noticeable swash-like entry/exit behavior on several letters and a generally generous use of tapered terminals. Spacing appears designed for display reading, where the fine hairlines and tight counters can remain crisp.
