A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The forms lean with a consistent, graceful slant and show sharp apexes, tapered terminals, and fine entry/exit strokes that create a shimmering rhythm in text. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height and open counters, keeping the overall texture light and precise.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined headings. It also fits fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery where high contrast and delicate detail can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The tone is polished and high-end, with an editorial elegance that reads as cultured and intentionally restrained. Its fine strokes and sweeping italics add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suggesting luxury and literary formality rather than casual everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic that evokes classic serif sophistication while staying clean and contemporary. It prioritizes graceful motion and fine detailing to create a premium, editorial character in both headings and carefully set text.
The numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast, hairline detailing, giving figures a dressy, display-forward presence. In longer setting, the italic’s calligraphic flow is prominent, while the overall color remains bright and airy due to the extremely thin horizontals and delicate serifs.
