A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, using narrow entry/exit strokes and lightly bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Curves are open and flowing, with long, graceful extenders and a slightly generous italic sweep in capitals and lowercase. Overall spacing reads airy and upscale, with numerals and capitals maintaining the same refined, high-contrast construction.
Well suited for magazine typography, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elevated italic voice is desired. It can also work effectively in invitations, packaging, and short-form display settings; for longer passages it will perform best with comfortable sizes and high-quality reproduction to preserve the thin strokes.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking editorial luxury and classical book typography. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic movement convey formality and finesse rather than sturdiness, giving text a poised, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic with strong contrast and graceful movement, prioritizing elegance and typographic sophistication. Its restrained, traditional serif detailing and fluid rhythm suggest a focus on editorial and luxury-oriented applications.
The italic construction is evident throughout, including expressive swashes in a few forms (notably in the lowercase and some capitals), while counters remain clean and uncluttered. The design favors elegance over rugged readability, with very fine terminals that will visually lighten at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
