A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are narrow and lightly built, with a steady rightward slant and long, tapering serifs that feel more drawn than constructed. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is crisp and flowing, with a slightly calligraphic stress visible across rounds and joins.
Best suited to display and editorial contexts where elegance and contrast are assets: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and refined cover typography. It can also serve as an italic companion for sophisticated text systems, especially for pull quotes and short passages where its light stroke weight remains legible.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—graceful and polished rather than forceful. Its airy hairlines and sweeping italic forms suggest luxury, romance, and a classic editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice rooted in traditional serif drawing. It prioritizes grace, finesse, and visual sparkle through hairline terminals, sharp contrast, and a consistent, flowing slant.
Uppercase shapes read statuesque and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more movement through slender ascenders and gently looping forms. Numerals and punctuation match the same fine, tapered construction, keeping the texture consistently light and sophisticated at display sizes.
