A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals stay sharp and clean, while the heavier strokes are narrow and controlled, creating a polished, high-end rhythm. The slant is consistent and moderately steep, with generous counters and smooth, calligraphic joins that keep the texture airy rather than dense. Capitals are tall and poised with fine crossbars and tapered feet; lowercase forms show graceful entry/exit strokes and compact, disciplined proportions that read comfortably at text sizes despite the light hairlines.
Well suited to editorial typography where a light, high-contrast italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as invitations and formal stationery where delicacy and elegance are desired. In longer settings it will perform best at comfortable sizes and high-quality output where the hairlines can remain intact.
The overall tone is refined and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its crisp contrast and elegant italic movement suggest formality and taste, with a quiet, cultured warmth rather than overt drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast italic, prioritizing elegance, vertical stress, and hairline precision. It aims to provide an expressive italic voice that feels upscale and controlled, complementing sophisticated layouts and branding.
Curves are drawn with a restrained, near-geometric polish, and many terminals finish in fine points or subtle flicks that add sparkle. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, appearing slender and display-oriented, with a classic, old-world elegance.
