A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms show a consistent forward slant, long ascenders and descenders, and generous internal counters that keep the texture open at text sizes. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, often with subtle bracketing and tapered joins that emphasize a calligraphic, pen-drawn logic. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow entry/exit strokes and a generally light overall color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essay titles where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from high contrast and a light, refined texture. For best results, it pairs well with ample spacing and careful reproduction to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font conveys a poised, high-end tone—graceful and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic rhythm suggest sophistication and formality, with a quiet, literary elegance.
The design appears intended as a graceful, high-contrast italic for sophisticated reading and display contexts, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a polished typographic tone over ruggedness or neutrality.
Capitals are expansive and lightly constructed, with round forms (C, G, O, Q) reading especially airy. The lowercase maintains a steady italic cadence, with single-storey shapes where expected and small, clean punctuation-like details (dots, hooks, and tails) that remain understated. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin diagonals and curved strokes that match the overall calligraphic contrast.
