This is a delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing fine entry/exit strokes, subtle bracketing at serif joins, and occasional swash-like flourishes (notably in capitals and in letters such as g, y, and z). Proportions feel slightly narrow with generous sidebearings, and the overall color is light and open, keeping paragraphs looking airy while retaining crisp stroke definition.
It suits display and short-form settings where fine detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, invitations, and refined brand marks. In longer text, it works best at comfortable sizes with ample leading and high-quality output to preserve its hairline strokes.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking editorial and fashion contexts where finesse and whitespace are part of the aesthetic. Its graceful slant and thin strokes read as sophisticated and boutique, with a gentle, cultured formality rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice that bridges traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement, prioritizing sophistication, contrast, and graceful flow for high-end editorial and branding applications.
Capitals present a restrained Didone-inspired silhouette with long, thin serifs and sharp apexes, while the lowercase introduces more cursive character and sweeping descenders. Numerals are similarly refined, with curved figures that mirror the italic motion and maintain the same delicate contrast.
