A delicate, high-contrast serif italic with hairline connecting strokes and fuller curved bowls, producing a crisp, shimmering rhythm on the line. Stems and diagonals show gentle widening toward terminals, with small, sharp, often wedge-like endings rather than heavy slabs. The overall construction is narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a consistent rightward slant, generous internal whitespace, and smooth, elliptical curves in letters like O and Q. Lowercase forms appear lightly calligraphic, with a single-storey a, long ascenders, and a distinctive, looping italic k and y that add motion without becoming overly ornate.
Well suited to magazine and book display typography, refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a cultivated, premium voice. It can also perform nicely on packaging and invitations where an elegant italic presence is desired, especially at display sizes.
The tone is sophisticated and editorial, reading as calm, luxurious, and precise. Its slender contrast and fluent italic cadence suggest fashion, literature, and fine-art contexts where nuance and grace are valued over blunt impact.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and subtle flaring, balancing calligraphic liveliness with controlled, editorial polish.
The design relies on thin hairlines and crisp terminals for its character, so it visually rewards larger sizes and ample spacing where the contrast and flared endings can remain clear. Numerals share the same refined contrast and italic posture, giving mixed text a cohesive, upscale texture.
