A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms are narrowly proportioned with a consistent rightward slant, sharp apexes, and long, tapering strokes that end in fine wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, while entry and exit strokes show a calligraphic sensibility, giving the design a light, shimmering texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant bowls and thin connecting strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where its contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging, as well as invitations and formal announcements that benefit from a graceful italic serif. Best used at comfortable sizes and in contexts where fine hairlines won’t be lost.
The overall tone is refined and aspirational, balancing classical bookishness with a modern, polished elegance. Its high-contrast sparkle and italic motion suggest luxury, editorial sophistication, and a sense of poise rather than robustness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on an italic serif—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and typographic rhythm for upscale communication and refined display settings.
Spacing reads open and measured for such a light face, which helps the thin hairlines stay distinct in running text. The uppercase has a poised, display-like presence, while the lowercase feels more fluid and rhythmic, reinforcing an expressive italic voice.
