This is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Letterforms are tall and streamlined with a forward slant and a smooth, continuous rhythm, giving words a graceful, swept texture. Serifs are sharp and minimal, often resolving into fine wedge-like or tapered endings, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the numerals) show polished, high-contrast shaping. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders, contributing to an elegant, vertical emphasis despite the italic angle.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion or lifestyle layouts, luxury branding, invitations, and other applications where refinement and contrast are assets. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its lightness and high contrast read as premium and formal, suggesting a cultivated, classic voice rather than an everyday utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and minimal, sharp serif detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual finesse, aiming for a sophisticated texture in display and refined text settings.
In text, the italic slant and narrow proportions create a lively, fast cadence, and the very fine horizontals and entry/exit strokes make spacing and background (paper/contrast) feel especially important. Numerals echo the same refined contrast and display-like delicacy, with curving forms that feel graceful rather than rigid.
