A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and hairline-thin, with crisp terminals and minimal bracketing, giving the forms a clean, cut-in look. The italic construction shows flowing, calligraphic entry and exit strokes, with lively curves and a slightly varied rhythm across letters; capitals feel sculpted and display-oriented while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height. Numerals share the same refined contrast and delicate detailing, with elegant curves and tapered strokes that match the text face.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine features, book covers, and other settings where an elegant italic voice is needed at display and text sizes. It can also support premium branding and formal printed materials, especially where contrast and refined hairlines enhance a sense of craft and luxury.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining editorial sophistication with a hint of drama typical of high-contrast italics. It feels classical and literary, yet also suited to contemporary luxury contexts where sharp detail and contrast signal refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic companion with strong contrast and crisp finishing, emphasizing elegance and a cultivated, print-centric texture. Its proportions and detailing suggest an aim toward classic fashion/editorial typography with a refined, contemporary edge.
The italic slant is consistent and smooth, with delicate joins and thin connecting strokes that create a light, airy texture in continuous text. Some letters show pronounced swash-like curvature (notably in descending forms), which adds movement and an expressive cadence without becoming overtly decorative.
