A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and very fine, sharp serifs. The letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders and a crisp, linear rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and terminals often finish in pointed, tapered strokes, giving the whole face a clean, polished silhouette. Numerals and capitals maintain the same disciplined contrast and narrow set, producing a consistent, vertical texture even in italic.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, fashion and beauty layouts, and other contexts where an elegant italic voice is desired. It works particularly well for display sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and cover lines—where the fine hairlines and tapered details can remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a poised, literary feel. Its crisp contrast and sleek italic movement suggest formality and refinement rather than warmth or casualness, lending a sense of exclusivity and polish to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif italics, optimized for elegant emphasis and sophisticated display typography while keeping a disciplined, narrow rhythm for dense editorial settings.
The very thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a delicate sparkle on the page, while the italic angle and tapered joins add a subtle calligraphic energy. Spacing appears relatively tight and the compact proportions encourage an economical, column-friendly look.
