This is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with slim stems, sharp entry/exit strokes, and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are relatively open for the narrow proportions, and the figures follow the same refined contrast and slanted stress for a cohesive text color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work for short-to-medium text in print or high-resolution settings, and it pairs well with a sturdier roman serif or neutral sans for contrast.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical, couture-like flourish. Its bright, airy texture and sharp detailing suggest formality and polish rather than warmth or robustness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, refined italic with strong contrast and narrow proportions, emphasizing sophistication and pace. It prioritizes elegance and visual character—ideal for typographic moments where a slanted, high-style serif is meant to lead the tone.
Uppercase shapes feel display-leaning due to their narrow width and strong contrast, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous italic movement that supports longer phrases. Numerals appear lining and similarly stylized, with thin hairlines and elegant curves that match the alphabet’s tempo.
