A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with a steady rightward slant, tapered strokes, and finely cut serifs that read as crisp wedges rather than slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively small, and joins stay sharp, giving the design a precise, polished rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the text tone with the same high-contrast structure and elegant, narrow silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and cultured branding where a refined italic voice is desirable. It works especially well for display sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and book or album titling—where the high-contrast detailing can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking classic print sophistication and modern fashion/editorial styling. Its fine detailing and disciplined slant convey a sense of formality and restraint while still feeling lively and expressive in running text.
The font appears designed to provide a luxurious, classical italic for contemporary layouts, emphasizing elegance through high contrast, tight proportions, and sharp serif detailing. It aims to deliver a stylish, print-forward texture that feels authoritative and carefully crafted.
The design relies on very thin hairlines for its sparkle, so it tends to look most confident when given enough size and breathing room. The italic construction is consistent across the set, producing a cohesive, flowing texture rather than a mixed roman/italic palette.
