A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. Stems are slim and sharply tapered, with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a generally vertical stress that reads as formal and controlled. Italic construction is fluid rather than cursive: letters lean consistently, with long, clean entry/exit strokes and slightly extended terminals that create an airy rhythm. Capitals are tall and sculpted, while lowercase forms stay compact and tidy, keeping word shapes sleek and continuous. Numerals match the refined tone with thin joins, elegant curves, and a lightly calligraphic flow.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, magazine headlines, refined branding, and high-end packaging where elegance is the priority. It also works effectively for invitations and ceremonial pieces, and as a contrast accent in typographic systems—especially when used at larger sizes where the hairlines can remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking editorial luxury and classical refinement. Its slender, high-drama contrast and poised italic movement feel expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of quiet prestige and ceremony.
Likely intended as an elegant italic companion for display typography, emphasizing contrast, poise, and a classic serif silhouette. The design appears aimed at delivering a luxurious, editorial voice with controlled calligraphic influence and a smooth, sophisticated text color in larger settings.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp points for its character, so spacing and size strongly affect clarity. In the sample text the italics maintain a consistent slant and smooth baseline rhythm, with distinctive swash-like finishing on select letters (notably in lowercases and the figure shapes) that adds a touch of flourish.
