A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and very fine hairlines. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a smooth, continuous slant and a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimal, with tapered terminals and thin connecting strokes that give counters a clean, open feel. Numerals and capitals share the same calligraphic sweep, with occasional long entry/exit strokes that add a refined, display-oriented texture.
Well suited to magazines, lookbooks, and cultural/editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is desired. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages, and can add a refined tone to invitations, packaging, and high-end brand identities when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking editorial sophistication and classic formality. Its light touch and crisp contrast read as premium and cultured, leaning toward fashion and literary elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing grace, lightness, and crisp detail. Its form language prioritizes expressive word shapes and a premium, editorial finish.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, while larger sizes emphasize the sweeping italic gestures and delicate terminals. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, and the spacing appears tuned for flowing word shapes rather than rigid blocks.
