A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing. The letterforms are built on a steady rightward slant with long, tapered entry/exit strokes and fine, sharp serifs that read as lightly bracketed wedges. Curves are smooth and open, with generous internal counters and a generally tall, slender silhouette; capitals feel especially stately with restrained, high-contrast construction. Lowercase shows a traditional italic structure, including a single-storey a, compact bowl forms, and ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm without crowding.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium runs of text where elegance is prioritized—magazine headlines and deck copy, book and journal titling, invitations and announcements, and refined brand wordmarks. It also works well for pull quotes and captions when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and understated, projecting a sense of luxury and literary sophistication rather than boldness. Its light touch and crisp contrast give it a poised, formal voice suited to premium, editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a contemporary cleanliness—capturing traditional serif refinement while keeping forms airy and precise for modern editorial typography.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic angle, with several figures showing gently flowing terminals and a calligraphic sense of movement. Stroke endings are consistently sharp and minimal, reinforcing a clean, high-fashion finish.
