A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp, calligraphic terminals that create a crisp, shimmering texture in text. The italic angle is steady and moderately steep, and many forms show gentle entry/exit strokes that enhance flow without becoming script-like. Uppercase proportions feel tall and dignified, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with slim counters and a light overall color.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where its contrast can read as a feature. It can also work for premium branding touchpoints—packaging, invitations, and lookbooks—especially when paired with ample whitespace. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and with considerate leading to preserve clarity of its fine strokes.
The overall tone is poised and polished, evoking editorial refinement and classic sophistication. Its sparkling contrast and slanted rhythm suggest luxury, fashion, and literary contexts rather than utilitarian reading. The voice feels confident and cultured, with a distinctly stylish emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with a distinctly refined, high-fashion finish—maximizing contrast and taper for elegance while keeping the underlying forms conventional enough for editorial use. It prioritizes graceful rhythm and visual sophistication over ruggedness or neutrality.
In the grid, capitals show restrained ornament with clean diagonals and careful tapering; the Q has a graceful tail and the J descends with a subtle hook. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin joins and elegant curves that keep the set consistent with the letterforms. In the text sample, the strong contrast produces a bright, airy page color, making spacing and line length more critical at smaller sizes.
