A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms show tall proportions and a graceful forward slant, with sharp wedge-like entry strokes and crisp, lightly bracketed serifs that often resolve into tapered points. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and joins stay clean and minimal, creating a bright, airy texture. The rhythm is distinctly calligraphic despite the precision, with a lively mix of thin connecting strokes and stronger stems that gives words a flowing, polished silhouette.
Best suited to display typography where its fine hairlines and dramatic stroke contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, cultural posters, and refined packaging. It can also work well for short text accents such as pull quotes, menus, or invitation suites when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, with a poised, editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics read as classic and romantic, lending a sense of ceremony and high style while remaining crisp and modern in finish.
Designed to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice: sharp, precise, and ornamental without becoming overly decorative. The intention appears to balance traditional Didone-like elegance with readable word shapes and a smooth, contemporary rhythm for premium display settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved terminals and gentle swashes (notably in letters like a, f, g, y). Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic cadence, keeping the set visually consistent for display use.
