A high-contrast italic serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharp, tapering terminals. The letterforms lean decisively, with smooth, calligraphic curves and a crisp rhythm that alternates thick verticals against extremely fine horizontals and joins. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing in places; many strokes finish in pointed beaks or teardrop-like ends. Counters are open and clean, and the overall spacing feels airy, giving the design a polished, high-end texture in text and display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined subheads, as well as book titles and chapter openers. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal collateral where a sophisticated italic voice is desired, and can work for invitations and event materials when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—graceful and slightly dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its flowing italic movement reads as sophisticated and romantic rather than casual, suggesting classic publishing and luxury branding contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with pronounced contrast and finely sharpened details, prioritizing elegance and visual refinement. Its consistent stroke modulation and polished terminals suggest a focus on premium display typography that remains readable in short passages.
The numerals echo the same high-contrast, italic construction, with distinctive curved entry strokes and fine terminals that keep the set cohesive. Ascenders and descenders are long and elegant, and the lowercase shows lively, handwritten inflections (notably in letters like f, g, y, and z) that add sparkle without becoming ornamental.
