A very slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The letterforms show a strong forward slant and a smooth, continuous rhythm, with narrow joins, sharp terminals, and generous interior counters that keep the texture light. Capitals are tall and poised with delicate entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase features single-story forms and a gently calligraphic flow; ascenders are prominent and the overall spacing reads open rather than dense. Numerals follow the same hairline construction, with high-contrast curves and light, pointed finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where a light, upscale voice is desired. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitations—especially in larger sizes where the hairline details and high-contrast curves can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward fashion-editorial elegance rather than utilitarian text. Its light color and sharp detailing convey sophistication and restraint, with a subtle handwritten sparkle that adds warmth without becoming informal.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, pace, and visual sparkle over robustness. Its forms emphasize refined calligraphic movement and a light, premium typographic color for display-driven settings.
The design’s extreme thin strokes and fine serifs create a fragile silhouette that is visually striking at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction. The italic structure is integral rather than an oblique effect, with consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
