A delicate, high-contrast serif italic with hairline horizontals and finely tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a consistent rightward slant and narrow joins that keep counters open despite the thin strokes. Serifs read as sharp, lightly bracketed wedges, and many strokes end in pointed, calligraphic flicks. Proportions feel classical with moderate ascenders/descenders and a measured rhythm that favors clarity over exuberance.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where high contrast can read cleanly—magazine features, cultural or lifestyle branding, book jackets, pull quotes, and elegant stationery. It will also work in refined typographic pairings where the italic is used for emphasis or a graceful secondary voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its lightness and razor-thin details suggest sophistication and restraint, giving text a cultured, slightly dramatic presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial italic with classical serif cues—prioritizing finesse, contrast, and graceful movement for sophisticated typography. It aims to feel premium and timeless while remaining clean and controlled in running settings.
Uppercase forms show crisp, sculpted contrast (notably in C, G, S) and a restrained, formal stance, while the lowercase carries more of the italic motion through angled entry strokes and tapered joins. Numerals appear similarly refined, with elegant curvature and minimal weight in the thinnest parts, reinforcing a luxury, print-oriented feel.
