Weights
Italic
The italic does the warmth.
Body — 18 px in the face
Designed for editorial display — the kind of serif that punches at 96px and stays elegant at 24px because the brackets get genuinely sharper as you scale up. Plus a variable italic that means the italic at display sizes is not the same as the italic at body, which is the way italic faces are supposed to work.
