A delicate hairline serif with pronounced slant and high-contrast construction, pairing needle-thin joining strokes with fuller curved bowls. Serifs are crisp and finely tapered, often resolving into long, calligraphic terminals that create a lively, sweeping rhythm. Proportions feel tall and willowy with generous ascenders/descenders and small interior counters; curves are smooth and rounded while diagonals (as in V/W/X) are sharp and precise. The overall spacing reads open in display sizes, with letterforms that favor elegant silhouettes over sturdy texture.
Best suited for fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, lookbooks, invitations, and other display typography where finesse and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or refined packaging text at comfortable sizes, but its hairline strokes suggest using ample size and careful reproduction conditions.
The font conveys a polished, editorial sophistication—light, luxurious, and slightly dramatic. Its sweeping terminals and poised slant give it a romantic, couture-leaning tone that feels premium and expressive rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on an italic serif with a couture sensibility: high contrast, elongated forms, and expressive terminals that create an upscale, distinctive voice for titles and identity work.
Several characters feature distinctive swash-like finishing strokes (notably in Q, R, J, y, and some numerals), adding motion and personality. The numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted stance, suited to titling and short numeric details where delicacy is an asset.
