A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper and flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals, with hairline connections and crisp, pointed joins that keep the color light and sparkling. Proportions are compact and vertically poised, with a relatively small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and open, oval counters; the overall spacing feels measured and slightly generous for an italic, aiding clarity in display settings.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant editorial typography where an italic voice is desirable. It also fits luxury-oriented branding—such as beauty, fragrance, and jewelry—plus refined packaging and formal invitations, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines and tapered details can remain clear.
The tone is cultured and polished, suggesting editorial sophistication and high-end branding. Its lively slant and razor-thin hairlines add a sense of motion and finesse, while the crisp terminals contribute a modern, fashion-oriented sharpness.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated italic with heightened contrast and flared finishing, balancing classical serif elegance with a sharper, contemporary edge for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms read as stately and sculpted, with smooth curves and fine finishing at stroke ends; the numerals match the same airy contrast and italic movement. The font’s defining character comes from the combination of strong diagonal stress, fine hairlines, and flared endings, which gives text a sleek, shimmering texture.
