A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The forms are narrow and upright-leaning in their slant, with generous inner counters and a light, buoyant color on the page. Serifs read as fine, sharp wedges rather than heavy brackets, and joins often transition through needle-like hairlines, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Round letters stay smooth and controlled, while diagonals and strokes such as in V/W/X show elegant, tensioned curves and pointed finishes; numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic with slender stems and subtle entry/exit flicks.
This style suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or beauty layouts where a polished, high-end voice is desired. It can also work well for invitations and branding marks when set at moderate-to-large sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is sophisticated and aspirational, balancing classical poise with a contemporary fashion/editorial gloss. Its lightness and crisp contrast suggest formality and luxury, while the italic movement adds a sense of motion and elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxe, high-contrast italic with a modern, uncluttered finish—prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a bright page color for display-oriented typography.
In the text sample, the font creates a distinctly airy rhythm with clear word shapes and generous spacing, emphasizing refinement over density. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and several letters display graceful swash-like tails and extended curves that enhance the calligraphic impression without becoming overly decorative.
