A delicate italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines against stronger main strokes. Forms are tall and slim with compact widths and a lively rightward slant, giving lines a quick, forward rhythm. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly calligraphic flicks. Counters are narrow and open, and the overall texture reads airy and precise rather than dense.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its sharp contrast and slender proportions can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also fits fashion and culture editorial design, premium branding, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or announcements where a polished italic voice is desired.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its combination of crisp hairlines and brisk italic motion suggests luxury, formality, and a curated, high-end sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical italic elegance: maximizing refinement through hairline detail, controlled contrast, and tall, narrow proportions while keeping a consistent, readable rhythm in setting.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a uniform diagonal flow in text. Ascenders are notably tall and the lowercase shows graceful entry/exit strokes, while figures share the same refined contrast and slender footprint.
