A very delicate italic serif with hairline strokes, sharp wedge-like terminals, and smoothly drawn curves. The construction feels calligraphic: stems lean consistently, joins are clean, and curves narrow into fine points rather than blunt endings. Proportions are graceful and slightly high-waisted, with compact bowls and long, fine extenders on letters like f, g, j, and y. Spacing reads open and measured, helping the thin strokes stay legible while preserving an overall light, gliding rhythm.
Best suited to display and larger text where the fine strokes can breathe—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and book or album covers. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads when printed or rendered at sufficient size and with generous line spacing.
The tone is sophisticated and poised, with a quiet, editorial elegance. Its thin, slanted forms convey luxury and restraint rather than loud personality, suggesting formality, romance, and a polished, contemporary classicism.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious italic voice built on conventional serif foundations, prioritizing finesse, pace, and a clean calligraphic sheen over robustness. It’s likely drawn to complement high-end editorial typography and branding systems that need an elegant, lightweight accent.
Uppercase forms maintain a classical serif skeleton while emphasizing sharp, tapered finishing strokes; diagonals and curves are especially crisp at terminals. Numerals follow the same slender, refined logic, with minimal weight and a smooth, handwritten tilt that keeps the set cohesive in running text.
