A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with a lively, forward slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, where thin entrances and exits taper to sharp points. Curves are smooth and taut, with small, pointed serifs and clean, blade-like terminals that heighten the sense of precision. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted posture, keeping the overall texture airy and polished in text settings.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, magazine headlines, and refined branding where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, packaging, and other premium applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance, especially at larger sizes where fine details can shine.
The font projects a luxe, editorial tone—graceful, stylish, and slightly dramatic. Its sweeping italics and razor-thin details suggest sophistication and confidence, lending a romantic, high-end voice without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: glamorous, precise, and optimized for expressive display typography. Its consistent contrast and sharp finishing strokes prioritize elegance and impact over utilitarian neutrality.
The strongest visual signature is the combination of very thin hairlines with decisive, sculpted thick strokes, producing a sparkling page color at display sizes. Ascenders and capitals feel tall and poised, while the italic lowercase maintains a fluid, written cadence that suits expressive typography.
