A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing. The forms show a calligraphic flow: tapered entry strokes, long angled stress in rounded letters, and crisp wedge-like terminals that keep counters open despite the light construction. Capitals are slender and stately, with controlled curves and fine serifs; lowercase is lively and rhythmic with gently looping descenders (notably in g, j, y) and a narrow, graceful stance. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic logic, reading clean and tailored with thin horizontal elements and emphasized diagonals.
Best suited to display and larger text where the high contrast and hairline serifs can remain crisp—such as magazine headlines, brand wordmarks for fashion or beauty, book covers and chapter openers, refined invitations, and prominent pull quotes. It can also complement a sturdier roman or sans in mixed typography systems where an elegant italic accent is needed.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian text. Its airy contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest refinement, formality, and a slightly romantic, literary character.
The design appears intended as a refined, contemporary take on a classic italic text serif, prioritizing grace, contrast, and calligraphic rhythm for sophisticated editorial and branding use.
In the text sample, the bright color on the page and fine hairlines create a luxurious texture, while the consistent slant and tight curves produce a smooth left-to-right momentum. Spacing appears even and composed, helping the light weight avoid looking brittle at display sizes.
