A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline finishing. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a vertical, high-contrast structure, with sharp, tapered serifs and minimal bracketing that keep joins crisp. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals often ending in needle-like points or subtle teardrops, and the overall rhythm feels light and precise. Uppercase forms are slender and stately, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders and a flowing, calligraphic continuity in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling in magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial settings where elegance is the priority. It also fits luxury branding elements (logos, packaging, labels) and formal materials like invitations and event collateral, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The font projects a polished, editorial sophistication—poised and luxurious rather than casual. Its airy hairlines and dramatic contrast create a sense of refinement and ceremony, with a fashionable, high-end tone suited to premium branding and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture take on a classic high-contrast italic: refined outlines, crisp serifs, and a graceful text color that emphasizes sophistication and premium appeal.
In the sample text, the spacing and italic flow read best at larger sizes where the hairlines and pointed terminals can remain clear. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, giving figures an equally dressy, formal presence.
