A hairline italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong diagonal stress. Strokes are long and tapered, with fine, sharp serifs and needle-like terminals that keep counters open while emphasizing a tall, slender silhouette. Curves and joins feel calligraphic, with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes and a lively rhythm across words; spacing appears relatively tight, adding to the sleek, continuous flow.
Best suited to display typography where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short passages in high-resolution print or large on-screen sizes, especially when a refined, italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, reading as graceful and expressive rather than utilitarian. Its airy hairlines and elegant italic movement evoke editorial and fashion contexts, with a slightly romantic, old-world polish.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a couture/editorial feel, prioritizing elegance, speed of movement, and visual sparkle over robustness. The design choices suggest an emphasis on sophisticated display setting and expressive word shapes.
The capitals present a formal, restrained presence while still showing italic movement, and several letters (notably in the lower-case) use extended ascenders/descenders that create a distinctive vertical cadence. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-contrast logic, appearing more display-oriented than rugged or functional at small sizes.
