A delicate italic serif with crisp, hairline-thin serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The forms show a steep slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that often finish in sharp points. Counters are relatively open despite the thin horizontals, and the overall construction feels high-waisted, with small lowercase bodies and tall ascenders and capitals. Numerals and capitals keep the same refined contrast, giving the design a clean, sparkling texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial or branding applications where high-contrast italics can shine. It also fits elegant titling for invitations, packaging, and book covers, especially when used at moderate to large sizes with comfortable tracking.
The tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion publishing and classic book typography with a contemporary polish. Its dramatic thin/thick interplay and steep italic energy read as expressive and sophisticated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic voice for sophisticated display typography, combining sharp serif detail with fluid, calligraphic movement. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama in text over ruggedness or low-resolution resilience.
Spacing appears measured and airy, helping the very fine strokes stay legible in larger text settings. Several letters feature long, graceful entry/exit strokes typical of italics, adding motion and a slightly formal, ceremonial character to words and headlines.
