A delicate italic serif with extremely thin hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs. The forms show pronounced stress and sweeping entry/exit strokes, producing a lively diagonal rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Capitals are narrow and poised with generous curves (notably round letters), while the lowercase keeps an even, readable x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Counters are open and the overall color is light, with fine joins and needle-like terminals that emphasize precision.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when given enough size and print/screen quality to preserve the hairline details and sharp terminals.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a fashion-led, editorial sophistication. Its high-sheen detailing and flowing italic movement suggest elegance and restraint rather than warmth or neutrality, creating a cultivated, high-end impression.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice: maximal contrast, sculpted serifs, and a controlled, calligraphic flow. It prioritizes grace and visual drama, aiming for premium editorial impact rather than utilitarian text setting.
The italic construction is consistently expressive across the set, with distinctive calligraphic gestures in letters like k, y, and the looped forms of g and q. Numerals follow the same refined, hairline contrast and feel suited to display use where their thin strokes can remain intact. At smaller sizes or in low-contrast reproduction, the finest details may require careful handling to avoid loss of hairlines.
