A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, pairing sturdy main strokes with very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with tapered terminals and a generally crisp, engraved finish. Proportions run compact and tall, with narrow letterforms and long ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical rhythm. The italic construction is fairly steep and fluid, showing subtle calligraphic shaping in curves and entry/exit strokes while maintaining a disciplined, structured skeleton.
This font is best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-form editorial settings where its high-contrast italics can provide emphasis and sophistication. It can also work well for invitations, branding accents, and luxury packaging—especially when given generous size, leading, and careful color/printing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking luxury and traditional print sophistication. Its refined contrast and slanted posture give it a poised, expressive voice that feels at home in high-end editorial and fashion contexts.
The design appears intended as a refined italic companion for high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a classic editorial feel over ruggedness or utilitarian body-text endurance.
In text, the tight internal spaces and fine hairlines make the texture airy but sensitive to size and reproduction conditions. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and appear suited to display and headings where their slender presence can read clearly.
