A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems and diagonals build from firm, dark strokes into extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are sharp and minimal, with clean terminals and a generally taut, upright construction despite the italic slant. Proportions feel tall and disciplined, with rounded forms kept narrow and controlled; curves are smooth and continuous, and entry/exit strokes are tapered and precise. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant, high-waisted bowls and thin joining strokes.
Best suited for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and refined brand wordmarks where the hairline detail can remain intact. It can also work for short-form editorial typography (subheads, intros, captions) when printed or rendered with sufficient resolution and generous spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a fashion-forward, editorial polish. The extreme refinement of hairlines and the controlled italic movement give it a dramatic, high-end feel that reads as sophisticated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic contrasted-serif elegance in an italic voice, emphasizing sharp finish, vertical stress, and a polished editorial rhythm. Its narrow, disciplined forms and razor-thin hairlines suggest a focus on high-end presentation rather than utilitarian body text.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively rhythm and a bright page color, especially where thin links and serifs create sparkle. The italic has a measured, not overly cursive, motion—more classical and formal than expressive—making it well suited to prominent settings where its fine details can be appreciated.
