A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals. Strokes are smoothly drawn with a consistent rightward slant, sharp wedge-like terminals, and small, crisp serifs that feel more cut than bracketed. Capitals are tall and clean, with ample internal space and fine joins; curves are taut and controlled, and diagonals in letters like V, W, and X read as slender and precise. Lowercase forms maintain an even rhythm with a moderately sized x-height, narrow counters, and refined entry/exit strokes; the italic a and g are single-storey, and the numerals follow the same thin, elegant contrast.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, and premium brand identities where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work well for invitations, lookbooks, and short passages at comfortable sizes where its fine hairlines and italic rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its lightness and polished contrast create a sense of sophistication and restraint, with a distinctly formal, cultivated character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic voice within a classic serif framework, emphasizing finesse, contrast, and a polished page presence for display-led typography.
At text sizes the hairline details and fine serifs give a bright, airy texture, while larger settings emphasize the sculptural contrast and sweeping italic gestures. Round forms (O, Q, o) feel especially open and graceful, and the Q’s long tail adds a decorative flourish without becoming ornate.
