A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The forms show a predominantly vertical stress with sharp, clean terminals and fine, pointed serifs that read as minimally bracketed. Proportions feel elegant and slightly narrow in the caps, while the italics introduce lively, calligraphic movement through the diagonal axis and entry strokes. Counters are open and smooth, and the overall rhythm is airy, relying on precise contrast and slender joins rather than heavy mass.
Best suited to display sizes where the extreme contrast can remain crisp—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and refined invitations. It can also work for short editorial passages when set with generous size and leading, where the italic rhythm becomes a feature rather than a constraint.
The tone is poised and high-end, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its shimmering hairlines and sculpted italics evoke fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and classic book typography, projecting sophistication more than warmth. The texture feels formal and curated, with a sense of speed and elegance in longer lines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone style of elegance: dramatic contrast, controlled vertical structure, and a confident italic voice for sophisticated typography. It prioritizes visual refinement and sparkle, aiming for a premium, high-craft impression in prominent text settings.
The italic is prominent and expressive: angled strokes, tapered connections, and graceful curves give the alphabet a continuous flow. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender diagonals and crisp serifs, keeping the overall color light and bright on the page.
