A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The design shows a calligraphic, forward-leaning rhythm with tapered serifs and fine entry/exit strokes that create an airy texture on the page. Capitals are tall and poised with sharp apexes and clean curves, while lowercase forms are narrow and flowing, featuring single-storey a and g and a slender, angled f. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that read best when given generous size and spacing.
Well suited to magazine layouts, pull quotes, and elegant headlines where its contrast and italic cadence can shine. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion applications, and formal invitations or packaging that benefit from a refined, high-style serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial sophistication and boutique luxury. Its sharp contrast and italic movement add a sense of drama and fashion-forward energy while remaining distinctly traditional in structure.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif look with classic proportions and a strong emphasis on contrast and finesse. Its intent is to provide a sophisticated display-capable text companion for editorial and branding contexts where elegance and visual tension are desirable.
In text, the hairline details and long, tapered strokes create a bright, high-end color but can appear fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The letterforms favor graceful curves and pointed joins, yielding a distinctly refined, contemporary-classic impression.
