A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes. Serifs are fine and often hairline-like, with subtle bracketing and a crisp, sculpted finish that keeps counters open despite the narrow thins. The italic construction shows clear calligraphic stress and forward movement, with compact, smoothly curved forms and a slightly varying footprint from glyph to glyph that gives the texture a lively, hand-led rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and slanted axis, reading as formal and display-leaning rather than utilitarian.
Well suited for magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, especially for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and elegant subheads. It can also serve book titling and refined branding situations where an italic voice is meant to carry the primary personality rather than act as a secondary companion.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, conveying sophistication and a traditional literary sensibility. Its sharp contrast and graceful italic flow feel suited to couture, culture, and premium editorial contexts where elegance and drama are desired.
The design intent appears to be a refined, high-contrast italic that brings a classic serif foundation into a more expressive, fashion-forward voice. It prioritizes graceful motion, sharp detail, and a luxurious page color for premium typography.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed terminals create a crisp, luxurious sparkle; in smaller settings those thins may require careful size, color, and printing/screen conditions to preserve clarity. Spacing appears generous enough to keep the italic forms from tangling, supporting smooth reading in short runs while still feeling distinctly display-oriented.
