This typeface is a delicate italic serif with long, tapering strokes and a pronounced slanted axis. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with sharp, calligraphic terminals that keep the outlines crisp rather than soft. Curves are open and smoothly drawn, and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable modulation between thin and thicker strokes while remaining overall very light. Uppercase forms are spacious and restrained, while lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey a and g and gently varying widths that give words a flowing texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine titling, fashion or beauty branding, and refined invitations or announcements. It can also work effectively for pull quotes or short introductory passages where an elegant italic voice is desired and the type is set at a comfortable size.
The overall tone is poised and literary, conveying sophistication without heaviness. Its lightness and italic movement suggest formality and finesse, lending a graceful, cultured voice to short passages and display settings.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-style italic companion for sophisticated typography, emphasizing grace, lightness, and traditional serif manners. Its construction balances readability with an expressive, calligraphic slant aimed at elegant messaging rather than utilitarian text setting.
In text, the font maintains a clean, unbroken line thanks to generous sidebearings and open counters, but the hairline details and fine joins make it feel best when given enough size and contrast. Numerals follow the same airy, curved logic, with elegant loops and minimal, sharp finishing strokes.
