A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, slightly flared terminals and finely cut hairlines. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm: thick strokes feel brushed and elastic, while thin strokes stay sharp and crisp. Proportions are moderately narrow with ample inner counters, and capitals show poised, sculpted curves (notably in round forms) paired with restrained, pointed serifs. Lowercase details like the single-storey a and g, long ascenders, and a narrow, cross-like t reinforce a lively, editorial texture.
Best suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and elegant branding where an italic voice is desired. It also works well for book covers, invitations, and short to medium passages at comfortable sizes where its fine hairlines and expressive stroke modulation can remain clear.
The overall tone is cultivated and lyrical, balancing formality with motion. It reads as polished and upscale, with a light-footed elegance suited to sophisticated typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful italic with a traditional serif vocabulary, emphasizing refined contrast and tapered finishing for a premium, print-forward look. Its consistent calligraphic flow suggests a focus on expressive text setting and stylish display use rather than purely neutral reading typography.
Round letters maintain a smooth, continuous stress, and diagonal letters (like v, w, x, y) show clean, blade-like joins and tapered ends. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and refined terminals that harmonize with the letters.
