A delicate, italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with long, tapering ascenders and descenders that create a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with a gently calligraphic feel, and the curves show smooth, controlled transitions into thin exits and entry strokes. Overall spacing reads tight and precise, and the numerals mirror the same high-contrast, streamlined construction.
Well-suited to magazine-style typography, fashion and beauty branding, and refined packaging where a light, high-contrast italic can shine. It also works nicely for invitations, title pages, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text settings where elegance is prioritized over rugged small-size readability.
The tone is poised and upscale, suggesting editorial polish and a classic, cultured sensibility. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italics add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the narrow rhythm keeps the voice controlled and composed.
The design appears aimed at providing a graceful, high-contrast italic serif for sophisticated display and editorial contexts, emphasizing finesse, tension in the stroke modulation, and a polished, contemporary-classic presence.
The italic structure is dominant, with noticeably slender joins and tapered strokes that benefit from generous size and clean printing. The overall color on the page is light, so it reads best when contrast and resolution are high.
