A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The forms show strong vertical stress in round letters, with long, tapering entry strokes and needle-fine terminals that create a light, airy color on the page. Uppercase proportions feel tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, calligraphic rhythm with open counters and clean joins. Numerals are similarly slender and stylish, with thin horizontals and refined curves that read best when given space.
Best suited for magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial settings where elegance and contrast are desired. It also fits luxury packaging, beauty and fragrance identities, event invitations, and headline or display typography where its refined hairlines can remain intact and expressive.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, pairing a poised, classical sensibility with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp contrasts and italic motion suggest sophistication, restraint, and high-end branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast italic for display and editorial work, emphasizing sophistication through sharp modulation, vertical stress, and finely cut serif details. It prioritizes elegance and rhythmic flow over utilitarian neutrality.
The letterforms rely on fine details—especially in hairlines, terminals, and cross strokes—so the design’s personality comes through most clearly at larger sizes and in high-quality output. The italic slant is consistent and gives lines of text a graceful forward flow.
