A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, delicate hairlines. Serifs read as fine, often wedge-like terminals with subtle bracketing, and curves are drawn with a smooth, calligraphic sweep. Capitals are elegant and open, with restrained detailing, while the lowercase shows lively movement—long, tapering entry strokes, narrow joins, and a fluid baseline rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled logic, with slim horizontals and softly flared terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines where italic emphasis is part of the voice. It can also support elegant branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when paired with a sturdier roman for hierarchy and longer passages.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting editorial sophistication more than utilitarian neutrality. Its strong slant and shimmering contrast create a sense of speed and elegance, lending a couture, magazine-minded character that feels confident and cultivated.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, contemporary italic with dramatic contrast and a cultured, print-forward rhythm. Its forms prioritize elegance, emphasis, and a graceful reading flow, making it a strong choice wherever italic is meant to be a primary stylistic signal rather than a secondary companion.
The design favors grace over ruggedness: thin strokes and sharp terminals contribute to a bright texture at display sizes, while the consistent angle and carefully controlled curves help maintain readability in continuous text. Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, supporting a smooth, flowing line without looking loose.
