This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline entry/exit strokes and sharply tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with a pronounced diagonal stress and a lively, forward slant that creates a quick rhythm in running text. Serifs are minimal and blade-like, and the joins are clean, giving the letters a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced with slightly generous counters and a calm x-height relative to the ascenders, supporting readability while keeping an airy texture.
It performs best in editorial contexts where elegance is valued—magazine features, pull quotes, book titling, and refined branding. The thin hairlines and strong contrast make it especially suitable for larger sizes, short paragraphs, and display-inflected text settings where its italic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and classic bookish refinement. Its slender forms and crisp contrast lean toward luxury and formality, while the italic movement adds a graceful, expressive cadence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward italic interpretation of a classical serif model, emphasizing crisp contrast, graceful motion, and a refined page color for sophisticated typography.
The uppercase shows restrained, classical construction with elegant swashes kept to a minimum, while the lowercase maintains a consistent cursive flow without becoming overly script-like. Numerals match the same refined contrast and lightness, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed settings.
