A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp, triangular entry and exit points, and the serifs read as fine, blade-like terminals rather than bracketed slabs. Forms are narrow-leaning with a lively, variable rhythm: round letters stay open and sweeping while joins and curves pinch to needle points, giving a crisp, polished silhouette. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, with slanted stress and long, clean curves that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical.
This font is well suited to editorial display, fashion and beauty headlines, premium branding, and elegant invitations where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, particularly at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking runway/editorial typography and upscale packaging. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italics add drama and sophistication, while the light color on the page keeps it airy and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing sharpness, finesse, and dramatic stroke modulation for display-forward typography.
In continuous text, the strong italic angle and hairline detailing create a distinctive shimmer, with prominent swashes and pointed terminals becoming key visual signatures. The contrast makes spacing and background color especially noticeable, and the design reads best when given room to breathe.
