A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing strokes. The forms are compact and upright-leaning in rhythm, with sharp, tapered serifs and pointed terminals that give the outlines a clean, etched feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and ascenders/descenders feel long and graceful, reinforcing a continuous, flowing line in text. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-fashion logic, with thin joins and elegant curvature.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and formal event materials; in longer passages it works most comfortably at larger text sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining a classic bookish sensibility with a modern editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and slender details read as sophisticated and formal, evoking luxury branding, magazine typography, and cultivated cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice for contemporary editorial and luxury-facing typography, prioritizing sharp refinement, graceful motion, and high-contrast sophistication over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the italic angle and tight proportions create a sleek, fast rhythm, while the finest strokes can visually recede at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The design shines when given room—larger sizes, ample leading, and high-quality reproduction—to preserve its hairline structure and nuanced curves.
