A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The design shows a lively, calligraphic axis with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp joins, giving strokes a precise, chiseled feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively long ascenders/descenders, while spacing reads open and light, supporting smooth word shapes at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and occasional flourish-like terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, packaging accents, and invitations, particularly in larger sizes where the thin serifs and high contrast can be appreciated clearly.
The overall tone is poised and literary, conveying sophistication and a sense of tradition. Its lightness and sharp contrast add a fashionable, editorial elegance, while the italic slant gives it a dynamic, expressive voice without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a polished, classical italic serif for sophisticated reading and headline use, balancing crisp, modern sharpness with traditional calligraphic cues. It aims to provide an expressive italic texture that elevates tone while remaining disciplined and readable.
Curves are drawn with careful tension, especially in rounded letters, and the italics maintain a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text. Numerals and capitals keep the same refined contrast and slender detailing, making the set feel cohesive in continuous reading and display lines.
