A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimal, often wedge-like, with a clean, polished finish and little visible bracketing. The italic construction is fluid and slightly calligraphic, with narrow joins, open counters, and a smooth baseline rhythm; capitals feel stately and high-waisted while the lowercase keeps a measured, text-oriented pace. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast logic, giving the overall texture a light, sparkling color on the page.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle layouts, magazine features, book or chapter titling, pull quotes, and refined invitations where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from high-contrast sparkle and a cultured tone, especially at display and intermediate sizes.
The tone is poised and luxurious, pairing editorial sophistication with a gentle, handwritten grace. Its thin strokes and crisp terminals convey exclusivity and formality, while the italic movement adds a romantic, literary softness.
Likely designed as an expressive, high-contrast italic serif that delivers a classic, upscale impression while maintaining enough regularity for extended editorial use. The emphasis appears to be on graceful motion, crisp detailing, and a light, luxurious page texture.
The design’s contrast and fine hairlines create a bright typographic color that rewards generous sizes and careful spacing. In continuous text it reads as an intentionally stylized italic rather than a neutral workhorse, with particularly prominent swashes of curvature in letters like Q, g, and y.
