A very slender italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, continuous stroke that reads close to hairline in many joins. Serifs are small and sharp with a subtly flared, calligraphic feel, and curves are drawn with smooth, elongated ovals that emphasize diagonal flow. Proportions are slightly high-waisted, with long ascenders and descenders and open counters that keep the texture bright. The overall rhythm is lively and diagonal, with graceful entry/exit strokes and a consistent, carefully controlled modulation that adds clarity without becoming bold or heavy.
It works best for display and short-to-medium text where a refined italic voice is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, cultural programs, and premium brand identities. It can also suit invitations and packaging that benefit from a delicate, formal tone, especially when set with ample whitespace and larger sizes.
The face conveys a poised, cultured elegance—more whispered than declared—suited to sophisticated editorial tone. Its delicate construction and sweeping italic movement suggest fashion, literature, and classical refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality. The mood is calm and upscale, with a gentle sense of ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, contemporary take on an italic text serif: slender, airy, and expressive while remaining disciplined enough for continuous reading in controlled contexts. It prioritizes elegance and fluid rhythm, using fine serifs and elongated curves to create a distinctive, upscale texture.
In text, the thin strokes and sharp terminals create a light, sparkling color that benefits from generous sizing and spacing. The numerals share the same italic inclination and fine detailing, matching the letterforms’ understated, formal character.
