A hairline serif italic with pronounced stroke modulation and long, tapering entry and exit strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, pairing razor-thin horizontals with slightly firmer downstrokes and finely pointed terminals. Serifs are small and sharp, often bracketed into the stems, and many glyphs feature understated swashes—especially in capitals and the lowercase descenders—giving the design a flowing, high-end texture. Counters are open and the spacing feels generous, helping the thin strokes remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline contrast and graceful italic motion can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, mastheads, and refined branding. It also works well for formal invitations and packaging accents, especially when paired with a sturdier text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking editorial typography and boutique branding. Its contrast and flourished italic movement add a romantic, upscale feel that reads as poised rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs, emphasizing elegance, movement, and refined detail for premium, image-forward applications.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined italic logic, with curving, slightly calligraphic shapes that match the text’s cadence. The design’s extreme delicacy suggests it will benefit from sufficient size and comfortable line spacing to avoid optical breakup in dense settings.
