A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. The serifs are fine and bracketed, and many strokes end in sharp, pen-like flicks that emphasize forward motion. Counters are open and round, with a smooth, controlled curve quality and a light overall color on the page. Uppercase forms feel formal and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with modest extenders and a gently slanted stress that reads clearly in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or journal titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and pull quotes, especially at display sizes where the fine details and contrast can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone—more salon and editorial than utilitarian. Its airy hairlines and graceful italic posture suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, lending text a poised, upscale voice.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif for expressive setting, combining traditional serif construction with a calligraphic, fashion-forward rhythm to elevate tone and emphasis in text.
In longer passages the contrast creates a shimmering texture, with hairlines that add sparkle and heavier diagonals that anchor word shapes. The numerals maintain the same refined contrast and italic slant, fitting comfortably alongside the letterforms.
