A delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, with a pronounced diagonal stress that gives rounded forms a calligraphic, drawn-with-a-pen feel. Proportions are tall and graceful, with long ascenders/descenders and generous interior space in bowls and counters. The rhythm is flowing rather than rigid: curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals end in crisp, needle-like points that heighten the sense of finesse.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline details can remain crisp—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and short pull quotes. In longer passages or small sizes, the very fine strokes and tight points may benefit from generous size and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet, projecting luxury and restraint rather than boldness. Its italic movement and fine detailing add a romantic, editorial voice suited to expressive, upscale messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on an italic serif—prioritizing grace, motion, and high-end polish over utilitarian text readability. Its consistent thinness and sharpened terminals suggest a focus on refined display typography for curated visual identities.
The letterforms show a consistent slanted axis across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with especially elegant round shapes (C, G, O, Q) and thin, sculpted entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms. Numerals appear similarly refined and lightly stylized, matching the font’s airy texture.
