A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, with sharp entry/exit terminals that give many letters a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Curves show diagonal stress, and the overall rhythm is lively: joins are smooth, counters are generous, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an expressive texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with elegant curves and fine foot details.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headline work where contrast and movement are desirable. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal announcements, particularly at display sizes where the hairlines and nuanced curves remain clear.
The tone is sophisticated and poised, leaning toward luxury and editorial polish rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its brisk slant and crisp hairlines convey a sense of speed and finesse, while the classical serif forms keep it cultured and literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice: traditional serif anatomy interpreted with strong contrast and a calligraphic slant for expressive, upscale typography.
In continuous text the hairline details and sharp terminals create a sparkling texture, especially around curved letters and diagonally stressed bowls. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, formal voice.
