A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered finishing strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: angled stress in round letters, slim hairline serifs, and pointed terminals that create a crisp, high-end texture. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively width variation, and the italic slant is consistent without becoming overly cursive. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure (two-storey a, single-storey g), while capitals are clean and stately with restrained ornamentation and finely cut joins.
Best suited to editorial design, book and section titling, and typographic moments like pull quotes or short-form highlights where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits upscale branding and formal stationery, especially when set at sizes large enough to preserve its fine hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a fashionable, luxe edge. Its strong contrast and graceful slant give it a dramatic, expressive voice suited to sophisticated, formal messaging rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a contemporary, fashion-oriented sheen. It prioritizes elegance, fluidity, and typographic drama for refined layouts and headline-to-subhead applications.
In running text the rhythm feels smooth but sparkling, with thin horizontals and hairline details that emphasize white space and create a bright, refined page color. Numerals match the italic’s sharpness and contrast, reading as elegant and display-friendly alongside the capitals.
