A very slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and taut with a largely vertical stress, while joins and terminals stay crisp and minimally bracketed. The italic angle is consistent and gives a flowing, calligraphic rhythm, but the construction remains formal and controlled rather than handwritten. Proportions feel tall and open, with generous counters and a light footprint that keeps text looking airy and precise.
Best suited to editorial settings where sophistication is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, section titling, and luxury branding touchpoints. It can work for short to medium text at comfortable sizes, but the very fine hairlines suggest avoiding low-resolution reproduction or very small sizes where delicacy may be lost.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a polished editorial elegance. Its delicate hairlines and disciplined contrast read as cultured and formal, with a subtle sense of drama typical of fashion and luxury typography.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice: sharp, high-contrast forms with controlled elegance and a bright typographic color. It prioritizes refinement and hierarchy in display and editorial composition while maintaining a coherent, readable text rhythm at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms appear stately and slightly narrow with clean, pointed apexes and finely tapered strokes, while the lowercase shows graceful italics with lively entry and exit strokes and distinctive, curled terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, lending a refined, display-forward presence.
