A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairline serifs. The letterforms are narrow and gently inclined, with smooth, continuous curves and crisp terminals that often end in fine points. Round shapes (O, Q, o) are vertically stressed, and the overall color on the page is light and airy, with delicate horizontals and strong, sculpted verticals. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, reading graceful rather than utilitarian.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits branding applications such as beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and premium packaging, and can perform nicely for formal stationery or invitations when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—polished and fashion-forward while still rooted in traditional book and magazine typography. Its high refinement and sharp detailing suggest formality, sophistication, and a sense of premium craft.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, refined italic serif for high-end editorial and branding contexts, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast, sharp serifs, and a controlled, classical rhythm.
The italic construction feels intentional rather than merely slanted, with calligraphic motion in strokes and terminals that creates a lively rhythm in text. Fine details and thin joins make it most at home at comfortable display and larger text sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
