A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals that create a bright, airy color on the page. Capitals are tall and sleek with sharp, tapered serifs and gently bracketed joins, while the lowercase shows a steady rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic curves. Counters are open and the spacing feels measured rather than tight, giving the design a composed rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and fine terminals that read best when given room.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits luxury-oriented branding applications—such as beauty, fashion, and hospitality—when used at display sizes or with generous leading.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward classic bookish elegance with a touch of fashion-led sophistication. Its thin strokes and crisp detailing convey a sense of luxury and restraint rather than robustness.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, high-contrast italic that adds hierarchy and sophistication to text settings, balancing classical serif cues with a clean, contemporary sharpness.
The italic structure is consistently built as a true italic rather than a simple slant, with curved entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that emphasize motion. At smaller sizes the hairlines may visually soften, while at larger sizes the sharp contrast and pointed details become a defining feature.
