A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms show a strongly calligraphic slant and a lively, slightly springy rhythm, with rounded bowls and tapered strokes that finish in sharp, fine serifs. Proportions are relatively narrow in the lowercase with a normal x-height, while capitals feel spacious and gently sculpted, creating a light, open texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, drawn-with-a-pen logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined book typography where an expressive italic is desired. It also fits premium branding, invitations, and packaging accents, especially at sizes where the fine serifs and high contrast remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and cultivated, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and sweeping italic forms suggest sophistication, poise, and a classic literary feel, with a touch of fashion-forward polish.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and a bright, airy texture. It aims to deliver a classic, fashion-and-editorial voice with calligraphic energy in both headings and carefully set text.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline joins emphasize a bright page color, while the strong slant and contrast add movement and nuance. The design favors grace over robustness, so it reads as a display-leaning text italic best used where printing or rendering can preserve fine details.
