A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The forms are narrow and streamlined, with a consistent forward slant and gently tapered strokes that feel pen-driven rather than mechanical. Serifs are fine and unobtrusive, often resolving into sharp points or soft wedges, while curves stay smooth and open, giving counters a light, airy presence. Overall spacing reads even and measured, supporting continuous text despite the very fine details.
Well suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and magazine or book settings where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal invitations, beauty/fashion branding, and upscale packaging where a refined, delicate serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes and with ample line spacing.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward a classic, cultivated elegance. Its lightness and high contrast suggest restraint and sophistication, with a quiet, upscale voice suited to stylish, text-forward settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated text composition—prioritizing graceful motion, sharp detail, and a luxurious page color over rugged everyday utility.
In text, the rhythm is driven by slender verticals and sweeping italic joins, creating a graceful line flow. The figures match the same refined contrast and slant, integrating neatly with surrounding italics for cohesive editorial typography.
