A delicate italic serif with extreme stroke contrast: thin hairlines and sharp, tapered terminals set against smoother, fuller curves. The letterforms are notably wide, with open bowls and generous sidebearings that create an airy rhythm in text. Serifs are fine and pointed with a lightly calligraphic feel, and many glyphs show subtle entry/exit flicks and elongated, sweeping strokes that emphasize motion. Counters are spacious and the overall texture is bright and finely drawn, with a consistent vertical stress across rounded forms.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, editorial headlines, brand marks, beauty and luxury packaging, and formal invitations. It can work for short text passages when set large with relaxed spacing, but the fine details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast reproduction.
The tone is refined and high-end, evoking fashion publishing and luxury branding. Its sweeping italics and hairline detailing give it a poised, theatrical elegance suited to expressive typography rather than utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a glamorous, fashion-leaning italic with pronounced contrast and wide, flowing proportions. Its sharp hairlines and swashy terminals prioritize elegance and expressive silhouette for display typography.
In longer passages the combination of wide proportions and hairline features produces a light, sparkling color that benefits from ample size and comfortable leading. Figures appear similarly delicate and stylized, matching the alphabet’s thin terminals and curved forms.
