A delicate italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that taper to sharp points. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow while keeping a controlled, editorial structure—bowls are clean and open, joins are crisp, and terminals often finish in fine, sweeping strokes. Capitals feel stately and spacious, and the overall rhythm is light on the page with pronounced vertical stress and slender diagonals.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and elegant display applications where contrast and finesse can shine. It can also work for luxury packaging, invitations, and quote-driven layouts, especially when used with ample size and whitespace.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—poised, stylish, and slightly formal. Its airy hairlines and sweeping italics suggest luxury publishing and fashion-forward branding, with a refined, cultured character rather than a casual or rugged one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif voice: highly refined contrast, sharp finishing details, and a smooth reading rhythm aimed at premium display and sophisticated editorial use.
At text sizes the extreme contrast and fine details read as graceful and expressive, with particularly striking numerals and a distinctive italic ‘g’ and ‘y’ that add personality. The spacing appears generous, reinforcing an open, premium feel in both all-caps settings and running text.
