A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with tapered terminals and finely pointed joins that give the outlines a crisp, drawn quality. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with long, graceful diagonals, while the lowercase shows a gently slanted, calligraphic rhythm and compact counters. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with light strokes and subtle finishing flicks that keep the overall color very bright on the page.
It performs best in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display settings where its hairline contrast and elegant italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits fashion or beauty branding, invitations, and other premium collateral that benefits from a light, refined typographic voice. For extended text, it will be more comfortable in larger sizes and with generous leading to maintain clarity.
The font communicates polish and restraint, leaning toward a quiet, editorial sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its lightness and sharp detailing create a sense of luxury and formality, suited to refined, carefully composed typography.
The design intention appears focused on delivering a modern, high-contrast italic for sophisticated display typography—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a flowing reading rhythm over robust small-size durability.
The italic construction is consistent across letters and numerals, with a steady forward lean and repeated tapered endings that help tie the set together. The high contrast and fine serifs make it most convincing when given sufficient size, spacing, and printing/screen conditions that can preserve the hairline details.
