A high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant, hairline serifs, and strongly modulated thick-to-thin strokes. Curves are smooth and polished, with teardrop and ball terminals appearing in several lowercase forms, and a generally narrow, upright internal rhythm that feels crisp and formal. Capitals are sharp and stately with fine entry/exit strokes and delicate serifs, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and flowing joins; the overall texture is bright and lively, with thin strokes that can read as very delicate at small sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design, pull quotes, headlines, and refined brand applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for book typography in larger sizes or for short passages that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture, as well as formal materials like invitations and announcements.
The font conveys a poised, editorial elegance—confident and formal without becoming overly decorative. Its glossy contrast and italic motion suggest luxury, literature, and classic printing traditions, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony to text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-fashion italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and careful finishing, balancing classic proportions with a crisp, contemporary polish for editorial and display use.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with noticeable stroke tapering and refined terminals that harmonize with the letterforms. Spacing and proportions produce a rhythmic, slightly sparkling line in paragraph settings, with the thins contributing to a crisp, high-end feel.
