A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin strokes and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow to moderately proportioned with long, tapered terminals and sharp, pointed serifs that often resolve into fine wedges. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic axis that gives counters a graceful, flowing rhythm. The italic construction is pronounced, with lively entry and exit strokes and subtly varied widths across characters, producing an airy, high-end texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short editorial passages where its hairline details can remain crisp. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation-style typography, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its fine details and sweeping italics read as graceful and romantic rather than utilitarian, projecting a sense of exclusivity and polish.
This design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice for high-end typography, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and fluid motion over rugged, small-size practicality. Its sculpted serifs and airy texture suggest an emphasis on display and editorial styling.
Capitals feel especially display-oriented, with generous curves (notably in C, G, Q) and crisp joins that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, pairing thin hairlines with sculpted bowls and angled stress, which enhances a classic, editorial feel.
