A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clearly vertical stress. Stems are firm and dark while hairlines are extremely fine, producing crisp joins and delicate terminals. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with narrow, blade-like finishing strokes that keep the overall texture clean and high-definition. The italic construction is elegant and controlled rather than calligraphic, with gently tapered strokes and carefully balanced curves in bowls and rounds; capitals feel stately and upright in rhythm, while lowercase shows a fluid forward lean and airy counters.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand moments where elegance and contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented editorial settings when set large enough to preserve the fine details and maintain clarity.
The font projects a polished, couture-forward tone—confident, sophisticated, and slightly dramatic. Its contrast and fine detailing evoke an editorial voice that feels premium and curated, suited to environments where refinement and hierarchy are important.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast italics, prioritizing sharp definition, graceful motion, and a luxurious page presence.
In text, the hairlines and thin entry/exit strokes create a shimmering color that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing. Figures appear lining and similarly contrasted, matching the sharp, formal character of the letterforms.
