A refined italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show a strong diagonal stress, slim hairlines, and sharp triangular/bracketed serifs that create a clean, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel stately and slightly narrow with ample interior space, while the lowercase is fluid and compact with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine joins that read best when given room.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, headings, or pull quotes. It can also support premium branding and formal stationery when set at moderate to large sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and literary sophistication. Its sharp contrast and graceful italics suggest formality and a fashion-forward sensibility without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif with strong contrast and a graceful, text-oriented rhythm—balancing sharp detail with readable proportions for sophisticated typographic settings.
Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Fine details—such as thin cross-strokes and pointed terminals—add brilliance but also make the design feel delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
