A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly vertical stress. Strokes transition from slender hairlines to firm main stems, producing an airy page color and a crisp rhythm at display sizes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing, and many terminals taper to needle-like points that reinforce the graceful slant. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with narrow counters and calligraphic-like entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively.
Best suited to magazine and book display typography, fashion-oriented layouts, and premium brand applications where a refined, high-contrast italic can shine. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs remain visible.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, suggesting luxury and editorial sophistication. Its lightness and sharp detailing create a sense of precision and polish, with an expressive italic energy that feels fashionable rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif italics, prioritizing elegance, vertical-stress clarity, and a light, luminous page presence for display-driven typography.
In text settings the thin hairlines and tight joins become a key part of the personality, so generous spacing and sufficient size help preserve clarity. The numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading as elegant figures suited to titling and headlines.
