A refined italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and a crisp contrast between sturdy main strokes and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, and curves taper cleanly into terminals, giving the outlines a polished, engraved feel. The italic construction is moderately slanted with smooth, continuous joins and a lively rhythm; counters stay open and the spacing reads even in text despite the thin connecting strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and narrow-waisted, while lowercase shows fluid, calligraphic movement and a slightly varied texture typical of high-contrast italics.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, cultural publishing, and book typography where an italic is used for emphasis with style. It also fits elegant invitations, branding accents, and short-form headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a refined, high-contrast italic presence.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, leaning toward classic bookish elegance with a touch of fashion-forward drama. Its thin finishing strokes and poised slant convey refinement and formality, suited to settings where a cultivated, high-end voice is desired.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-end italic voice with crisp detail and expressive stroke modulation, balancing formal elegance in caps with fluent movement in the lowercase for polished reading and display use.
Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and fine horizontals that contribute to an airy color on the page. In continuous text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a shimmering texture that feels luxurious but benefits from comfortable sizing and generous line spacing.
