A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a smooth, forward slant and continuous, calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Serifs read as fine, lightly bracketed terminals rather than slabs, and many strokes taper to sharp points, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while ascenders and descenders extend generously, producing an airy, graceful vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and editorial typography—magazine features, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and other high-end publishing applications where elegance is prioritized. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, especially when given ample leading and not printed too small due to its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is cultured and sophisticated, leaning toward classic publishing and luxury aesthetics. Its light touch and high contrast give it a poised, formal voice that feels at home in refined editorial settings rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice with refined contrast and graceful, calligraphic movement. It aims for sophistication and visual sparkle in headlines and curated editorial layouts rather than rugged, everyday body copy.
The italics show lively stroke energy, with sweeping curves and delicate terminals that reward generous sizes and comfortable line spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, sharply tapered construction, creating a consistent, polished texture across mixed-case composition.
