A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin connecting strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with tapered terminals and a smooth, continuous calligraphic flow through curves and joins. Proportions feel compact and tall, with generous counters and ample white space that keeps the page bright. The overall rhythm is crisp and controlled, with consistent slant and clean, high-precision outlines in both letters and numerals.
Well suited for magazine-style editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined event materials such as invitations and announcements. It performs best where size and spacing can preserve its fine details—titles, deck lines, pull quotes, and high-end identity applications.
The tone is poised and elevated, projecting luxury, editorial sophistication, and a slightly dramatic fashion sensibility. Its light touch and razor-like detailing read as premium and formal rather than casual, lending a cultured, high-style voice to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance and visual sparkle. Its restrained widths and hairline detail suggest an emphasis on sophisticated display typography rather than utilitarian, low-resolution text settings.
The sample text shows strong elegance at display sizes, where the thin strokes and sharp serifs remain distinct and the italic movement becomes a key part of the personality. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted energy, supporting polished typographic systems for titles and pull quotes.
