A sharply modeled serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering entry and exit strokes. Serifs read as fine wedges and hairline terminals, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel while maintaining a smooth, continuous cursive rhythm. Proportions are tall and condensed, with narrow bowls and tight internal counters that emphasize verticality. The italic construction is expressive but controlled, with consistent stress and clean joins that keep the texture even in longer lines.
Well suited to editorial design where an elegant italic voice is needed—magazine features, fashion and beauty branding, book jackets, and refined headlines. It can also serve as a sophisticated emphasis style in running text when used at comfortable sizes and with slightly open tracking to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining delicacy with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its narrow, gliding rhythm suggests sophistication and speed, making text feel curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast italics: narrow, graceful letterforms with calligraphic energy and premium finish. It prioritizes stylish texture and sharp detail for sophisticated typography in print-like and brand-forward contexts.
Capitals are particularly sleek and statuesque, and the numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, pairing firm stems with fine hairlines. Spacing appears tuned for display-to-text settings, producing a bright, airy color when set with comfortable tracking.
