A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Forms are compact and upright-leaning with a steady, editorial rhythm; curves are clean and tightly controlled, and counters stay relatively small due to the narrow set. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with subtle bracketing and tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a polished, engraved feel. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, reading crisp and formal alongside the text.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where its high-contrast italics can add emphasis without becoming decorative. It also fits premium branding applications such as fashion, beauty, hospitality, and cultural institutions, especially when used at display sizes.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet sophistication typical of fashion and book typography. Its airy strokes and crisp detailing suggest refinement and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sophisticated italic companion with strong contrast and a narrow, polished silhouette, prioritizing elegance and typographic color for editorial and luxury-oriented settings.
The italics show a consistent, smooth slant and a disciplined stroke economy, creating a light texture that can look brilliant in larger sizes but may require adequate size and spacing to preserve clarity. The uppercase has a stately presence while the lowercase maintains a continuous, flowing line suitable for elegant text setting.
