A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered stroke endings, built around a lively calligraphic axis. Curves are open and generously rounded, while verticals remain slender, creating a buoyant rhythm and a bright page color. Serifs are minimal and finely bracketed, often resolving into needle-like terminals rather than heavy feet, and joins stay clean to preserve the high-contrast sparkle. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow with ample internal space; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long, elegant extenders and smooth italic construction that reads consistently in text.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, refined branding, and premium packaging where elegance and lightness are priorities. It also works effectively for invitations, headlines, and book or magazine covers, and can serve as a distinctive text face in larger sizes where the hairline details remain visible.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a light, airy sophistication that suggests editorial polish and quiet luxury. Its pronounced italic motion and refined contrast give it a formal, romantic character without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with maximum finesse: high contrast, restrained serif detailing, and a smooth calligraphic flow tuned for sophisticated display and editorial typography.
The figures follow the same hairline logic, with an especially delicate top on the 1 and smooth, old-style-like curvature in rounded forms. Letterspacing in the samples appears comfortably open for such thin strokes, helping maintain clarity while emphasizing the font’s shimmering contrast.
