A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that give it a crisp, polished presence. The letterforms are built on a steady rightward slant with tapered, wedge-like serifs and gently flared terminals rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay generous, and the overall rhythm is light on the page, with long ascenders and fluid entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic construction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight strokes with rounded bowls and fine, pointed terminals.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or chapter titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal invitations and refined branding applications, especially in larger sizes where the thin strokes and crisp terminals can remain clear.
The font projects a poised, upscale tone—graceful and formal without feeling heavy. Its airy contrast and sweeping italics read as editorial and fashion-forward, with a classic, bookish refinement suited to sophisticated typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif with a classic calligraphic backbone—optimised for elegance, emphasis, and a premium feel in display and editorial contexts.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and sharp hairlines create a lively texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable line spacing. The italic forms lean expressive—especially in letters with loops and descenders—so it tends to feel more like a display italic or an emphasis companion than a neutral workhorse roman.
