A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin connecting strokes and sharply tapered, flared terminals. The letterforms show pronounced stroke modulation and diagonal stress, with long, sweeping entry/exit strokes and crisp, needle-like serifs that often resolve into fine points rather than blunt ends. Uppercase proportions feel tall and airy, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with generous ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, counters are elegant and spacious, and the overall texture on the line is light, sparkling, and highly articulated.
Best suited to display typography: fashion and lifestyle headlines, magazine features, luxury branding, invitations, and refined packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where elegance is prioritized and the thin detailing can be preserved at a sufficiently large size.
The font conveys high-end sophistication and a distinctly editorial glamour. Its razor-thin hairlines and expressive italic movement feel poised and luxurious, with a sense of precision and delicacy that reads as premium and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic with flared, calligraphy-informed endings—prioritizing elegance, motion, and a premium editorial voice. It emphasizes graceful rhythm and sharp detail over robustness, aiming for visual drama and sophistication in headline settings.
In the samples, the hairlines become extremely fine in joins and terminals, creating a shimmering texture at display sizes. Several characters feature extended swashes or hooked terminals (notably in curves and the ampersand), which heighten the calligraphic flavor and make spacing and line breaks feel intentionally crafted.
