A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with long, tapering terminals and a consistent rightward slant that creates a continuous, flowing rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while lowercase shows lively movement with occasional calligraphic touches; the two-storey “g” and the “Q” with a sweeping tail stand out as particularly graceful. Numerals are similarly light and high-contrast, with an elegant, slightly formal stance.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other prominent typography where its contrast and hairline detail can be appreciated. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, and can work for short editorial passages when set large with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with an editorial, fashion-forward polish. Its fine hairlines and flowing italics lend a sense of ceremony and nuance, reading more like crafted print typography than utilitarian interface type.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with a premium, print-oriented feel. It emphasizes elegance and rhythm through high contrast, fine serifs, and expressive italic construction rather than neutrality or robustness.
Spacing appears generous, helping the hairline details stay distinct at larger sizes. The design leans on elegant strokes and pointed joins, producing a crisp texture that favors display and high-quality print reproduction over rugged, small-size scenarios.
