A sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. Forms are narrow and tall with a lively rightward slant, giving a quick, continuous rhythm across words. Curves are clean and controlled, with smooth transitions into thin terminals, and capitals show sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-contrast logic, pairing fine entry strokes with darker main stems.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, event materials, and refined packaging accents, and can work for short, carefully set passages when size and printing/display quality are favorable.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its high-fashion, literary feel suggests formality and taste, while the energetic italic slant adds a sense of motion and sophistication rather than exuberance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic italic text serif—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and fluid reading rhythm for high-end editorial and brand-forward applications.
Spacing appears tuned for display-sized settings: the thin hairlines and sharp joins read crisply at larger sizes, and the italic angle creates an expressive texture in mixed-case lines. The design leans on sharp details—particularly in serifs and terminals—so it benefits from generous reproduction conditions.
