A sharp, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal stress. The design features hairline serifs, fine joins, and tapered terminals that give strokes a cut-by-pen crispness. Proportions are slightly condensed in the caps with ample sidebearings for a smooth, airy rhythm, while the lowercase shows lively cursive influence and a flowing slant. Numerals and punctuation match the same delicate detailing, maintaining an overall light, precise color in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and journal titling, and other editorial settings where elegance and contrast are assets. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery when used at display sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—poised and literary, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward flavor. Its bright, glistening contrast and graceful italic movement suggest sophistication and formality rather than casual utility.
Likely designed to provide a classic, calligraphically informed italic for sophisticated typography—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a refined reading rhythm in display and editorial contexts.
The italic angle and strong modulation create a dynamic texture, with noticeably thin hairlines that read best when given sufficient size and printing/antialiasing quality. Rounded forms (like O/Q) are smooth and open, while diagonals (like V/W/X) feel crisp and decisive, reinforcing a tailored, high-end impression.
