A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an overall rightward slant. Hairline horizontals and tapered terminals contrast with slightly fuller verticals, creating an airy, high-fashion texture. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing and pointed, wedge-like finishing on many strokes. The proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and open counters; curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while diagonals and joins resolve into crisp, needle-like tips.
Best suited to editorial headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other larger-size typography where its hairlines and contrast can remain clear. It also fits luxury packaging, beauty and fashion branding, and formal stationery such as invitations. For extended reading, it will perform most comfortably at generous sizes with careful spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The face conveys a poised, luxe tone—cool, composed, and distinctly editorial. Its high-contrast sparkle and italic flow read as sophisticated and stylish, with a literary refinement suited to premium contexts rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears aimed at an elegant, contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs—prioritizing grace, sharpness, and visual sparkle. It emphasizes refined curves and tapered terminals to create a premium voice for display and editorial typography.
In text settings, the rhythm is driven by slender stems and ample internal whitespace, producing a light, shimmering page color. Round forms (like O and Q) appear very thin at the hairlines, and figures follow the same high-contrast logic, giving numerals a display-oriented, fashion-forward feel.
