A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a strongly right-leaning cursive rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered with a lightly calligraphic, engraved feel, while joins and terminals show sharp cuts and subtle curves that keep counters open despite the contrast. Proportions are tall and narrow in capitals, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders in the lowercase; numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast construction with sweeping entry and exit strokes.
Well suited to magazine and fashion contexts, pull quotes, headlines, and refined brand identities where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It also fits formal invitations or titling where the high-contrast, engraved-like detailing can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic formal printing. Its crisp contrast and graceful italic movement read as sophisticated, romantic, and slightly dramatic rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with sharp contrast and a graceful, calligraphic cadence—prioritizing elegance and visual sparkle in display and editorial roles.
At text sizes the hairlines can appear very fine, while at display sizes the sculpted curves and tapered serifs become the main character. The italic angle and lively stroke endings create a flowing line texture that suits prominent settings more than dense, small-size reading.
