A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-thin hairlines. The design has a slightly wide stance with elongated, tapering serifs and crisp terminals that often finish in fine points. Curves are smooth and high-contrast, with a consistent diagonal stress and a lively, calligraphic rhythm across caps and lowercase. Counters stay open and clean, while joins and transitions are sharply cut, giving the letters a polished, contemporary finish despite the traditional structure.
Best suited for display sizes where the hairlines can remain visible: magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and elegant packaging. It also works well for invitations and short-form editorial typography where a graceful italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and premium, pairing classical italic formality with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its extreme finesse and contrast create a dramatic, high-end feel suited to sophisticated, editorial settings rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic companion for high-impact display typography, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast, fine detailing, and a poised, slightly wide silhouette.
Uppercase forms read statuesque and airy, while the lowercase shows more motion through sweeping entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, maintaining a cohesive, upscale texture in mixed typography.
