A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing. Strokes flow with a consistent rightward slant, creating a smooth, continuous rhythm across words. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than blunt, with sharp terminals and minimal bracketing; curves are clean and open, and joins stay crisp even where strokes thin down to near-hairlines. Proportions feel compact and economical, while counters remain clear, giving the face a light, poised texture in text.
Well suited to magazine-style typography, book or journal titling, pull quotes, and other editorial moments where a refined italic voice is desired. It can add a premium accent to branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its thin entry/exit strokes and crisp contrast lend a luxurious, fashion-forward feel, while the steady italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and quiet drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with a contemporary, high-fashion lightness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and smooth word rhythm for display and editorial settings.
The uppercase shows restrained, classical construction with narrow internal spaces and elegant diagonal stress in rounded letters. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender stems and curved forms that read as stylish rather than utilitarian. In longer lines the texture stays bright and airy, but the finest strokes suggest careful sizing and printing conditions for best results.
