A hairline italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a steep rightward slant. Strokes resolve into sharp, needle-like terminals and fine bracketed serifs, with long ascenders/descenders and generous internal whitespace that keeps the color very light on the page. Capitals are tall and flowing, with occasional subtle entry strokes and gentle curves, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, including looped and slightly swashy constructions in letters like g, y, and z. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic pattern, with slender stems and graceful curves.
Best suited for fashion/editorial headlines, magazine-style pull quotes, invitations, and refined brand marks where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but is most effective when given room to breathe and not used in overly small settings or low-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, suggesting editorial sophistication and a boutique, high-fashion sensibility. Its airy hairlines and cursive movement feel romantic and formal, leaning more toward display elegance than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with a couture/editorial polish—prioritizing grace, motion, and a luminous page texture over robustness at small sizes.
Because the thinnest strokes are extremely fine, the design relies on clean rendering and sufficient size to keep details from fading. The lively italic rhythm and elongated forms create a strong horizontal flow, making spacing and line length especially noticeable in continuous text.
