A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic axis and crisp, finely bracketed serifs, with tapered terminals and sharp, clean joins. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase, with a restrained x-height and relatively long ascenders/descenders, giving lines a graceful vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, with narrow hairline diagonals and carefully controlled curves that read smooth and polished at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper feature typography, cover lines, and refined headline work where a polished italic voice is desired. It also fits book jackets, invitations, and boutique branding applications that call for an upscale, classical serif impression, especially when used with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting an editorial sophistication associated with high-end print and fashion contexts. Its slanted, high-contrast forms add a sense of movement and ceremony, balancing delicacy with formality.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic voice optimized for elegance and emphasis, pairing classical serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic, fashion-forward rhythm.
The design relies on fine details—thin serifs, tight joins, and slender strokes—so it benefits from generous sizing and breathing room in layout. The italic construction is consistent across upper and lower case, creating a cohesive, flowing texture in continuous text.
