A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin strokes, a pronounced diagonal axis, and sharp, tapered entry and exit terminals. The letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, creating an airy vertical rhythm and ample white space. Serifs read as fine, pointed wedges rather than blunt slabs, and many strokes end in subtle hooks or flicks that add a calligraphic finish. Uppercase construction is restrained and classical, while the lowercase introduces more movement and occasional swash-like forms, especially in letters such as g, j, y, and z. Numerals follow the same light, elongated styling, with open curves and minimal stroke buildup.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial or branding moments where a refined italic voice is desired. It can work well for fashion and beauty packaging, premium labels, and invitation-style applications, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve its airy rhythm.
The overall tone is sophisticated and intimate, combining editorial polish with a handwritten, couture-like elegance. Its slender stance and flowing italic energy suggest luxury, romance, and a quiet sense of drama rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxury-leaning, calligraphic italic serif for display typography, balancing classic serif structure with expressive terminals and occasional swash-like gestures to create a recognizable, elegant voice.
The design’s extreme thinness and tight proportions make counters and joins feel crisp and refined, but it relies on clean reproduction and adequate size to keep the hairlines present. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the more expressive lowercase details give the face a distinctive signature in display settings.
