A sharply slanted serif italic with delicate hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design shows long, tapering entry and exit strokes, crisp wedge-like serifs, and smooth, open bowls that keep counters clear despite the light construction. Capitals are narrow and poised with sweeping diagonals and subtly flared terminals, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable rhythm with soft curves and gently extended ascenders/descenders. Numerals are similarly refined, with airy forms and fine terminals that echo the text face’s calligraphic logic.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book titling, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also support high-end branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, or hospitality applications that benefit from a light, elegant serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting a cultured, editorial sophistication. Its brisk italic energy reads as expressive but controlled, suitable for content that wants to feel premium and considered rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a display-leaning text serif italic that delivers a luxurious, fashion-classic feel through strong contrast, tight sculpting, and calligraphic stroke endings. It prioritizes graceful word shapes and a sense of movement for emphasis and tone-setting in typography.
Spacing appears on the open side, helping the thin connecting strokes avoid clogging in word shapes. The italic construction gives many letters a forward, cursive-like flow without becoming fully script, balancing formality with motion.
