A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes follow a smooth, calligraphic axis with long, tapered entry and exit strokes, and small, sharp wedge-like serifs that often resolve into fine points. Proportions are compact and narrow with generous internal white space, while curves (notably in C, G, O, Q and the lowercase bowls) are clean and open. Ascenders and descenders are relatively long and fluid, and figures are similarly refined, with italic slant and graceful, hairline terminals.
Best suited to high-end editorial typography, branding for luxury goods, and elegant invitations where large sizes and good reproduction preserve the fine hairlines. It can also serve as a refined headline or pull-quote italic, pairing well with a sturdier roman for body text in print-centric applications.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking editorial sophistication and formal correspondence. Its airy hairlines and sweeping italics read as fashionable and romantic, with a quiet, high-end restraint rather than a loud display attitude.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic stroke contrast and controlled, calligraphic movement. It appears designed to prioritize elegance and rhythm in display and short-text settings, emphasizing refinement through slender proportions and precise, tapered finishing.
The design relies on continuous, flowing joins and needle-like terminals, producing a shimmering rhythm in running text. At smaller sizes or on low-contrast output, the finest strokes may visually recede, while larger settings emphasize the elegant stroke contrast and extended flourishes.
