A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. Stems and diagonals taper into fine hairlines, with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a generally narrow, tall posture. Curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals often finish with small teardrops or flicks that add a subtle calligraphic flavor. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders and generous internal whitespace; the numerals follow the same high-contrast, refined construction, with a notably thin, airy “8” and a graceful, curled “2/3” style.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, luxury branding, invitations, and premium packaging where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and line spacing to maintain its airy texture.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting couture elegance and literary refinement. Its light touch and sharp contrast read as sophisticated and dramatic rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of luxury and poise.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: sharp, minimal serifs, pronounced modulation, and graceful cursive motion for a refined, attention-commanding voice in display typography.
In text, the steep italic angle and hairline detailing create a lively rhythm, with distinctive swashes on letters like J, Q, f, and y that can become prominent at larger sizes. The design’s crisp joins and slender horizontals favor careful setting and ample spacing to preserve clarity.
