A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint but read as fluid due to a steady rightward slant and long, tapering terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketless in feel, with sharp beak-like entries on several capitals and crisp, tapered joins that emphasize a polished, engraved rhythm. Counters are open and clean, spacing is relatively generous, and the overall color on the page stays light and airy even in longer text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other high-end display contexts where contrast and finesse are desirable. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and titling, particularly when set with comfortable leading and not overly small sizes.
The tone is sophisticated and poised, evoking classic editorial typography and luxury branding. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest formality, taste, and a slightly dramatic flair without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast italic, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a refined reading rhythm. It aims to create a premium, cultured voice for titles and prominent text while maintaining typographic discipline and consistency.
Capitals show a graceful, calligraphic construction with pointed apexes and elegant swash-like terminals in places, while figures follow the same high-contrast logic with refined curves and thin links. The italic rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive forward motion in text settings.
