A hairline italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a bright, open color on the page. Strokes are long and taut with smooth, continuous curves, and the serifs read as sharp, minimal terminals rather than heavy brackets. Capitals are tall and poised with generous sweep in rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) and needle-like diagonals (V, W, X, Y). Lowercase shows a graceful, calligraphic rhythm: single-storey a and g, a narrow oval in o, a flowing f, and a distinctive italic k with a long, tapered arm; figures are equally fine-lined with elegant curves and a narrow footprint.
Best suited for display typography where its hairlines and high-contrast rhythm can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury logotypes, and premium packaging. It can also work for short, elegant text elements such as pull quotes, invitations, and product naming, especially when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The tone is luxurious and composed, with a couture-like delicacy that suggests sophistication and restraint. Its pronounced italic motion and high-contrast sparkle give it a glamorous, editorial presence suited to premium, taste-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: an italic with refined stress, minimal serifs, and striking contrast that prioritizes elegance and visual drama over utilitarian robustness. Its proportions and consistent slant aim for a sleek, contemporary editorial feel while referencing traditional high-contrast serif models.
Because the horizontals and joins are so fine, the texture becomes more dramatic as size increases; at smaller sizes the hairlines may visually recede, emphasizing the main stems and steep italic angle. The letterforms keep a consistent slanted axis and a clean, modern crispness rather than a soft, oldstyle warmth.
