A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with long, tapering ascenders and descenders, producing a brisk, vertical rhythm despite the slant. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and smooth curves; joins are clean and the overall color stays light and open. Numerals match the same refined contrast, with a graceful, slightly calligraphic flow across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and luxury packaging where a light, refined italic voice is desirable. It shines in headlines, pull quotes, and short-form settings, and can add a formal touch to invitations and certificates when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and polished, projecting a boutique, high-end feel. Its crisp contrast and slender detailing suggest luxury and discretion rather than sturdiness, lending an expressive, couture-like sophistication to headlines and short texts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif optimized for elegance and visual finesse. Its narrow proportions and hairline detailing prioritize sophistication and rhythmic flow, aiming to create a distinctive editorial presence without heavy weight.
In running text the italics create a continuous, fluid motion, with generous counters keeping the texture from closing up. The extreme fineness of horizontals and serifs gives it a distinctly premium look, but also makes the design feel most at home at larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
