A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The forms are softly calligraphic, with a consistent rightward slant and tapered terminals that resolve into sharp, delicate serifs. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and stroke endings feel crisply finished, creating a bright, airy texture in text. Proportions lean tall and graceful, with capitals that have a stately presence and lowercase that maintains a clean, readable rhythm.
Best suited to editorial display work such as magazine titles, book covers, and refined brand materials where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be reproduced cleanly. It also works well for invitations and short-form typographic accents like pull quotes or section openers, where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, balancing classical bookish refinement with a contemporary editorial sheen. Its slender, sparkling details suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a poised, cultured voice to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, fashion-leaning take on classic italic serif writing, emphasizing graceful movement, sharp finishing details, and a luminous page color for high-end typography.
The italic construction is prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, with expressive entry/exit strokes and fine, pointed terminals that can become fragile at small sizes. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast logic, matching the letterforms for cohesive typographic color.
