A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, long ascenders and descenders, and an overall narrow, high-waisted rhythm typical of high-contrast designs. Curves are smooth and tensile, with crisp terminals and fine joins that create a light, sparkling texture in text. Numerals and capitals keep the same taut contrast and sharp finishing, giving the set a consistent, dressy sheen.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale stationery. It can work in larger-size text for refined layouts, but the hairline details call for adequate size and considerate reproduction.
The font conveys refinement and formality, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utility. Its airy strokes and sharp finishing suggest luxury and a poised, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast serif italics, prioritizing grace, drama, and typographic sparkle. It emphasizes expressive italic forms and fine finishing to create a premium, editorial tone.
In continuous text the spacing reads open and the stroke contrast creates a lively, shimmering pattern, especially in diagonals and rounded forms. The italic construction feels primary (not merely a slanted roman), with calligraphic movement and tapered entry/exit strokes that emphasize speed and elegance.
