This is a delicate, slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strong vertical stress. Hairline strokes are extremely fine, with crisp, sharp serifs and tapered terminals that give the forms a cut, precise finish. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the caps, while the italic construction introduces lively entry/exit strokes and a calligraphic rhythm. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing reads airy, letting the thin details breathe in display sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and elegant invitations. It can work for short editorial passages at generous sizes and leading, where its fine hairlines and crisp serifs remain clearly rendered.
The tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its razor-thin details and poised italic movement suggest sophistication, ceremony, and a touch of drama rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif that prioritizes elegance and contrast, creating a dramatic, upscale texture for titles and refined typographic statements.
Figures follow the same refined contrast, with curving forms (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) emphasizing thin hairline turns and swelling main strokes. The overall texture in paragraphs is bright and sparkling, but the finest strokes visually recede, making size and reproduction conditions an important consideration.
