A delicate serif italic with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, polished finish. The design shows a strong vertical stress, with very fine hairlines and thicker main strokes that create a shimmering rhythm in text. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, and joins feel clean and controlled rather than heavily bracketed. Italic construction is evident throughout, with a fluid, calligraphic slant and occasional entry/exit flicks, while proportions feel open and slightly expansive, lending an airy texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and refined brand identities where a high-end, classical italic is desired. It performs especially well in display sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and short passages—where the fine hairlines and elegant details can remain clear.
The font conveys sophistication and poise, pairing a classic editorial tone with a fashion-forward elegance. Its lightness and high contrast read as luxurious and formal, with a gentle handwritten influence that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic for sophisticated communication, balancing classical serif structure with a lighter, more fashion-oriented delicacy. Its emphasis on fine details and flowing italics suggests a focus on elegance over rugged everyday utility.
Uppercase forms are stately and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved terminals and italic swashes, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender horizontals and graceful curves that harmonize with the text face.
