A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered joins against thicker, brush-like vertical strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress and flowing, calligraphic movement, with long, knife-edged serifs and fine entry/exit terminals that often end in pointed flicks. Uppercase forms are airy and stately, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with narrow bowls, tight apertures, and slender ascenders/descenders that add sparkle. Numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, mixing crisp straight segments with graceful swells.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can remain visible: fashion headlines, magazine titling, premium branding, beauty and fragrance packaging, invitations, and pull quotes. It can work for short text passages in print or high-resolution settings when ample size and spacing are used.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial feel that reads as sophisticated and intentionally delicate. Its dramatic contrast and italic cadence suggest tradition filtered through modern polish—expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion italic serif voice: refined, airy, and strongly calligraphic, prioritizing elegance and contrast for display-led typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
Spacing appears on the generous side, helping the very thin strokes stay distinct and giving words a light, floating texture. The most characteristic details are the sharpened terminals, the calligraphic stroke modulation, and the elegant, slightly elongated curves that keep even simple strings looking lively.
