A very slender italic serif with extreme thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are built from long, flowing curves and taut verticals, with narrow joins and crisp terminals that often taper into fine hooks. Serifs are minimal and sharp, frequently resolving as thin wedges or flicks rather than bracketed feet, giving the design a clean, high-fashion rhythm. Proportions feel moderately tall with generous ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture stays light and open even at display sizes.
Best suited to large-size typography where the hairlines can remain intact, such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty identities, boutique packaging, and upscale invitations. It also works well for short pull quotes and title treatments when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, couture-like elegance. Its whisper-thin strokes and dramatic contrast read as sophisticated and ceremonial, leaning toward glamour rather than everyday utility. The italic movement adds a graceful, expressive cadence that feels formal yet stylish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs—prioritizing elegance, movement, and a premium feel through hairline details, sharp terminals, and a controlled, stylish slant.
Several characters show subtle flourish behavior (notably in curved capitals and in letters like Q, g, y, and z), adding personality without becoming overtly decorative. Numerals share the same high-contrast, calligraphic construction, pairing well with the letterforms in refined settings.
