A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, narrow joins, and long, tapered entry/exit strokes that give the text a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp rather than bracketed, with crisp, high-contrast curves in rounds and a distinctly drawn italic skeleton across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin horizontals and subtly flared, tapered ends.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, luxury branding, and other high-end display settings where its hairline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short, carefully set text—such as invitations or packaging copy—when reproduction is high quality and sizes are not too small.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical formality with a fashion-forward lightness. Its airy strokes and sweeping italics suggest sophistication and a sense of premium craft, suited to expressive, high-end typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice for sophisticated typography, emphasizing elegance through high contrast, sharp serifs, and fluid cursive-like construction. It prioritizes visual grace and premium tone over utilitarian robustness, aiming for crisp, stylish impact in display and editorial contexts.
Capitals appear restrained and statuesque while still benefiting from the italic movement, and the lowercase shows lively details in letters like g, y, and f that add personality without becoming decorative. The extreme contrast and fine hairlines create a bright page color in text, but also mean the design reads as intentionally delicate and precise.
