A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline horizontals and serifs. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, tall proportions, and a light, glossy color on the page. Serifs are sharp and minimal, with smooth, continuous curves and tapered terminals that feel drawn rather than constructed. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders are long, and the overall rhythm is sleek and flowing, with capitals that read as poised, sculpted forms above a comparatively modest x-height.
Best suited for display typography where its high contrast and elegant movement can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, lookbooks, invitations, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The type conveys a polished, high-end tone—more fashion and culture magazine than utilitarian text. Its airy strokes and refined italics suggest sophistication, delicacy, and a sense of luxury, while still maintaining classical restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and a luxe presence. Its forms aim to bring a dramatic, stylish voice to titles and featured text rather than neutral, long-form reading.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine joins create a luminous, engraved feel; in denser settings the extremely thin strokes may visually recede compared to the heavier verticals. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, reinforcing a cohesive, graceful cadence across mixed content.
