This is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairlines. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into crisp wedge-like terminals that reinforce a lively, angled rhythm. Uppercase forms feel restrained and stately, while the lowercase is more cursive in construction, with flowing joins, tapered strokes, and a distinctly calligraphic slant. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are clean, giving the face a polished, high-definition texture in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, luxury branding, and other editorial contexts that benefit from a refined italic voice. It performs best in headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages at comfortable sizes where the hairlines and crisp serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward sheen. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement convey sophistication, precision, and a sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional italic serif—balancing classic proportions with dramatic contrast and pointed, energetic terminals for an elevated, attention-getting texture.
In the sample text, the strong diagonal stress and hairline detailing create a sparkling page color, with italics that read as intentionally expressive rather than purely utilitarian. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, pairing well with display and headline settings where the thin strokes can be preserved.
