A delicate serif italic with extreme thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, showing sharp triangular serifs and finely tapered entry/exit strokes that often end in pointed, calligraphic flicks. Curves are broad and polished, counters are open, and joins are clean, giving the design a light, precise texture on the page. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender diagonals and small, sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and book editorial settings, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations and certificates, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting editorial sophistication and a quiet sense of drama. Its combination of whisper-thin hairlines and crisp, dark stems reads as premium and stylish, with a classic, cultured character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical high-contrast serif italics—prioritizing grace, sharpness, and typographic sparkle over sturdy, utilitarian texture.
In text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a lively shimmer that’s especially noticeable in long lines. The sharp serifs and fine details reward generous sizing and good reproduction, where the hairlines can remain intact and the spacing can breathe.
