A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are steeply slanted with narrow proportions and generous sidebearings, creating a light, open rhythm across lines. Serifs are sharp and minimal, often behaving like tapered entry/exit strokes rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and controlled, with long, fine terminals and occasional flourish in capitals and select lowercase shapes; numerals follow the same high-contrast, flowing construction.
Best suited to display settings where its fine contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or poetry titling, and upscale invitations or announcements. It can work for short bursts of emphasized text, but its slender hairlines and steep italic motion favor larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a couture-like sophistication and a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its extreme finesse reads as premium and formal, leaning toward romantic and classical rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast italic voice for refined typography, combining crisp serif structure with calligraphic movement for expressive, upscale display use.
In the text sample the spacing and slant produce a continuous, cursive texture while remaining clearly a serif italic rather than a connected script. The hairline details and sharp joins suggest it will shine when given ample size and clean reproduction conditions.
