This typeface is a very slender, high-contrast serif italic with hairline connecting strokes and sharper, more substantial thick strokes concentrated along the primary downstrokes. Serifs are minimal and crisp, often wedge-like, and many forms finish with tapered terminals that feel drawn rather than mechanically cut. Uppercase proportions are tall and streamlined, while the lowercase shows italic construction with a lively baseline rhythm, pronounced entry/exit strokes, and occasional looped or sweeping descenders (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). Spacing appears open and light, giving the text a floating, polished texture at display sizes.
It performs best in short-form, high-impact typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, invitations, and premium packaging where its high contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for accents in longer documents (e.g., subheads or emphasized phrases) when paired with a sturdier companion face.
The overall tone is sophisticated and graceful, with a couture/editorial feel that reads as formal without becoming heavy. The flowing italic motion and fine strokes convey delicacy and a sense of ceremony, suited to romantic or literary contexts.
The design intention appears to be a delicate, high-fashion italic serif that prioritizes elegance, movement, and contrast over rugged text durability. Its calligraphic finishing and open spacing suggest it was drawn to deliver a refined display voice with a distinctly formal, stylish character.
The font’s thin hairlines and sharp contrasts make the letterforms feel precise but also visually fragile, especially in smaller sizes or dense settings. Numerals follow the same elegant italic logic with fine serifs and smooth curves, maintaining a consistent, refined rhythm alongside the letters.
