A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered, slightly bracketed serifs set against comparatively sturdier vertical and diagonal strokes. The letterforms are narrow and poised with a pronounced rightward slant, crisp apexes, and long, clean curves in round letters. Capitals feel stately and streamlined, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm with generous entry/exit strokes and a distinctive single-storey italic structure in several forms. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, razor-fine detailing and elegant curvature, maintaining a consistent, polished texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial settings or formal stationery when set with ample leading and not pushed to small sizes.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than warmth. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing suggest high-end fashion, cultural publishing, and formal invitations, with a graceful, slightly dramatic presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on the classic high-contrast italic serif: sharp, refined, and visually striking. It prioritizes elegance and typographic drama over utilitarian body-text neutrality.
Fine terminals and thin connecting strokes create a bright, sparkling page color, but also make the design visually dependent on sufficient size and contrast in reproduction. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the outlines maintain a smooth, controlled tension—especially in the bowls and the sweeping diagonals of letters like V, W, and y.
