A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The letters show a noticeably right-leaning posture, tall proportions, and generous internal space that keeps counters open despite the fine strokes. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed or pointed, with a crisp, chiseled finish on terminals and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and slanted energy, giving the set a consistent, polished texture in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, luxury branding, and formal invitations. It can work for body text in print when set at an appropriate size with enough leading, but it will read most confidently in titles and refined typographic accents.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a quiet sense of sophistication. Its lightness and sweeping italics evoke classic editorial typography, conveying luxury, romance, and a slightly formal voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical italic serifs: maximizing elegance through extreme contrast, sharp finishing details, and a smooth, written rhythm. It prioritizes sophistication and visual finesse over ruggedness, making it a natural choice for premium editorial and brand voice.
In running text, the strong diagonal stress and thin connecting strokes create a lively, sparkling color that benefits from comfortable tracking and adequate size. The italic forms feel purposefully drawn rather than merely slanted, with expressive curves in letters like g, y, and Q that add personality while staying within a traditional serif idiom.
