A hairline serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a crisp, engraved feel. Stems taper into fine, pointed serifs and needle-like terminals, while bowls are smooth and tightly controlled, giving the alphabet a clean, polished rhythm. The italic construction is moderately slanted with calligraphic joins and long, sweeping strokes in letters like Q, J, and y; lowercase forms lean toward single-storey a and g with slender ascenders and compact counters. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing straight, sharply cut strokes with rounded figures and light, curling terminals.
This style performs best in display and large-size typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, fashion or beauty branding, event stationery, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages when set with ample size and comfortable spacing, where its contrast and italics can remain clear.
The tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, projecting poise and restraint rather than warmth. Its lightness and sharp contrast create a sense of luxury and formality, well suited to editorial or cultural contexts where elegance is the primary message.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs: minimal, sharp, and airy, emphasizing elegance and premium positioning. Its restrained shapes and disciplined contrast aim to create a sleek editorial voice with subtle calligraphic motion.
In text settings the hairline joins and fine serifs create a sparkling texture with generous white space, especially at larger sizes. The design reads as deliberately delicate, with expressive italic swashes that add movement without becoming ornamental.
