A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic, right-leaning construction with long, tapered serifs and sharp terminals, producing a crisp, shimmering texture. Capitals are tall and stately with generous curves and fine entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and open counters, keeping the rhythm readable despite the light hairlines. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine joins that feel consistent across the set.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine layouts, fashion branding, and refined display typography where its hairline details can be preserved. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes, particularly when paired with ample leading and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is luxurious and refined, evoking classic print sophistication and contemporary fashion sensibilities. Its light, incisive details and poised slant suggest elegance, restraint, and a premium editorial voice rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-end, modern-classic italic voice: expressive calligraphic movement combined with polished, high-contrast serif detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual finesse for display and editorial settings where sophistication and tone matter as much as readability.
The design relies on very thin connecting strokes and needle-like serifs, which create a bright, high-end look but also make spacing and background contrast especially important. The italic structure feels integral (not merely a slanted roman), with flowing curves and carefully tapered terminals that give lines of text a graceful, continuous motion.
