A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are slender with sharp, hairline serifs and tapered, knife-like entry/exit strokes, giving the forms a crisp, engraved feel. The italic construction is consistent and lively, with smooth curves, narrow set proportions, and controlled spacing that keeps the rhythm even despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same refined, thin finishing and slightly calligraphic sweep.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine and fashion layouts, and other display settings where its fine detailing can shine. It also works well for refined invitations, branding accents, and pull quotes, especially when printed at sizes that preserve the hairline strokes.
The tone is polished and formal, leaning toward luxury and literary sophistication. Its graceful slant and fine details evoke fashion mastheads, classical book typography, and high-end editorial design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with modern crispness: dramatic modulation, sharp serifs, and a compact footprint that reads as luxurious and literary in display typography.
In text, the hairlines and pointed joins create a sparkling texture and a distinct horizontal flow, while the narrow proportions help maintain compact headlines. The overall effect is precise and airy, with a strong emphasis on sharpness and contrast.
