This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif italic with hairline connecting strokes and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into pointed or slightly flared ends that reinforce a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Proportions are slender with open counters and a smooth, continuous slant; capitals show classical construction (notably a swashed Q tail) and a restrained, sculpted rhythm. Lowercase forms are light and flowing, with single-storey a and g, long ascenders, and minimal joins that keep the texture bright and spacious.
Best suited to large-size typography where its fine strokes and high-contrast details can remain intact—magazine headlines, fashion branding, invitations, and cover titling. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when printed or rendered at sufficiently large sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting sophistication through its thin strokes and graceful movement. Its slanted forms and crisp serifs suggest editorial polish and a boutique sensibility, reading as cultured and romantic rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a refined italic voice with a distinctly calligraphic, high-fashion sensibility, prioritizing elegance and expressive stroke modulation over rugged small-size durability. It aims to deliver a premium, classical texture with modern sharpness and ample whitespace.
Numerals match the hairline refinement and feel suited to display settings; the 1 is a simple oblique stroke, while curved figures like 2 and 3 emphasize sweeping, calligraphic curves. The sample text shows an even, airy color at larger sizes, with the thinnest strokes becoming a prominent stylistic feature.
