A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. The letterforms are built on a steep slant and narrow proportions, with long, tapering strokes and fine, pointed serifs that read as sharp and precise rather than bracketed and heavy. Counters are open and the rhythm is light and flowing; curves finish in small, controlled flicks, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X) feel blade-like. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast, giving the design a consistent, high-end texture in both display and text settings.
Well suited to magazine and book editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and refined subheads. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and jewelry packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations, where the high-contrast texture can be showcased at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its whisper-thin details and graceful motion feel formal and cultured, suited to designs that prioritize sophistication over robustness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif experience with a modern, couture-level fineness—combining traditional proportions with extreme delicacy and crisp finishing. It aims to provide a distinctive, graceful typographic color that elevates premium layouts and brand moments.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the hairline elements are extremely fine, so the face reads best when given room—either at larger sizes or with generous leading. The italic angle and tapered terminals create a continuous cursive-like flow even in roman letter structures, reinforcing a fluid, calligraphic impression.
