A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Letterforms are relatively compact with a lively rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs appear fine and mostly bracketed, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) show smooth, controlled swelling into thin exits. The lowercase uses a two-storey g, a single-storey a, and long, elegant ascenders/descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm; figures are equally high-contrast with graceful, calligraphic joins.
Well suited to fashion and culture editorials, magazine heads and standfirsts, luxury branding, and premium packaging where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also complement book typography for short passages, pull quotes, and titling where its high-contrast detail can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward contemporary editorial sophistication with a hint of classic bookish refinement. Its thin hairlines and polished italic movement read as stylish and expressive rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif with classical proportions and carefully controlled contrast, offering a refined, expressive texture for display and editorial settings.
In running text the strong contrast and fine serifs produce a bright page color with noticeable sparkle, especially in diagonals (v, w, y) and the italic join behavior. The numerals and capitals maintain a similarly refined, display-leaning presence, with slender horizontals and sharply tapered ends that emphasize elegance over ruggedness.
