A very delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline joins and long, tapered strokes. The forms are drawn with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, pairing razor-thin horizontals and hairlines with slightly fuller stressed curves. Serifs are fine and sharp, often wedge-like and lightly bracketed, with generous, airy counters and a distinctly high-waisted feel in several capitals. The lowercase shows compact, economical construction and narrow joins, while figures follow the same refined contrast with elegant curves and thin terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand or product titling where its high contrast can shine. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and can work for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size, leading, and spacing to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion typography and classic bookish refinement at the same time. Its lightness and crisp contrast suggest sophistication, precision, and a sense of ceremony rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended as a refined italic companion for sophisticated typography, prioritizing graceful movement, high contrast, and a polished, premium surface. It aims to deliver a classic, couture-like voice with crisp details and an airy, elevated texture on the page.
The italic logic is consistent across the set, with graceful entry/exit strokes and a lively baseline movement. In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp details read as intentionally fragile, emphasizing elegance over robustness, especially as sizes get smaller or spacing tightens.
