A sharp, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairline serifs. Stems alternate between strong thicks and delicate thins, creating a glossy, engraved rhythm, while the italic angle is steady and controlled rather than cursive. Terminals are tapered and often end in small teardrops or needle-like points, and joins remain clean with minimal bracketing. Proportions feel traditional, with compact lowercase forms and ascenders/descenders that add airy elegance without looking extended.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and fashion-oriented layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works nicely for book titles, pull quotes, and refined branding applications, and can add a formal tone to invitations and ceremonial materials.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial and literary settings where sophistication and restraint are desired. Its crisp contrast and poised italics suggest formality, taste, and a sense of classic refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic serif voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing sophistication and visual sparkle over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation gives a lively sparkle, especially in rounded letters and numerals, while the narrow hairlines can appear very delicate at small sizes. The figures match the italic character, leaning with the text and maintaining the same refined contrast and tapered detailing.
