A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with a distinctly vertical stress in rounded forms and long, tapering terminals. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a lively rightward slant, generous ascenders/descenders, and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Numerals and caps maintain the same high-contrast logic, producing a light, shimmering texture at text sizes and a striking, razor-edged presence in display settings.
Best suited to display and larger typographic moments such as fashion and beauty headlines, magazine titling, luxury brand wordmarks, and refined event materials. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and leading, where its hairlines and contrast have room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, fashion-forward character. Its fine details and steep contrast give it a cultured, editorial feel that reads as modern classic rather than rustic or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, emphasizing elegance and hierarchy for premium, editorial-led typography.
The italic construction is expressive rather than purely oblique, with flowing joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, graceful line. Because hairlines are extremely thin, the design is visually sensitive to size, background, and output method.
