A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered terminals set against slightly firmer diagonal and vertical strokes, producing a pronounced contrast. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a calligraphic entry/exit feel and occasional swash-like endings, especially in capitals and the tailing forms. The overall rhythm is airy and continuous, with generous internal whitespace and a noticeably small x-height that keeps lowercase compact beneath tall ascenders and deep, fluid descenders. Figures appear equally light and stylized, echoing the italic stress and elegant curvature rather than a rigid, mechanical construction.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, book or chapter titling, pull quotes, and other settings where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal stationery and invitation work, as well as branding in fashion, beauty, and premium packaging where delicacy and contrast read as upscale.
The tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than everyday utilitarian text. Its light touch and flowing italic motion suggest formality, taste, and a quiet sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, calligraphy-informed italic serif for sophisticated typography, prioritizing grace, contrast, and an elevated page color over rugged small-size robustness.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and many letters finish with fine, pointed terminals that can read slightly sharp at small sizes but add sparkle at display sizes. The combination of narrow hairlines and long extenders gives lines a graceful, upward cadence and a distinctly refined texture.
