A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a graceful rightward slant, sharp wedge-like serifs, and fine tapered joins that give strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous counters and a light overall color; numerals and capitals keep a poised, formal stance while lowercase maintains a fluid, calligraphic rhythm.
Well suited to magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and refined headlines where high-contrast italics can add emphasis with a premium feel. It also fits formal stationery, event materials, and luxury branding elements, particularly when used at display sizes or in high-quality print.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, conveying fashion-forward sophistication and a traditional literary sensibility. Its lightness and high contrast create a sense of luxury and restraint, suited to settings where elegance matters more than rugged practicality.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a smooth, lyrical reading rhythm. It aims to deliver a classic editorial voice with contemporary crispness and lightness.
Spacing appears open enough to preserve clarity despite the hairlines, but the thinnest strokes and sharp beaks require adequate size and resolution to avoid losing detail. The italic construction carries through consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, flowing texture in text.
