A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, narrow apertures, and compact internal counters, giving the face a taut, refined rhythm. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with tapered terminals and a calligraphic feel; curves exhibit diagonal stress and smooth modulation through joins. Proportions are text-oriented with a moderate x-height and long, graceful ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance without feeling overly decorative.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and literary or cultural materials where a refined italic is desired. It can add an upscale tone to invitations, identity systems, and packaging when used at comfortable sizes with adequate print or screen quality to preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward classic book typography and formal publishing. Its lightness and crisp contrast convey sophistication and restraint, suggesting an editorial, boutique sensibility rather than a rugged or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-forward italic serif that emphasizes elegance and typographic tradition. Its controlled slant, sharp contrast, and restrained detailing aim to provide a polished voice for reading and formal communication rather than overt display styling.
In the sample text, the italic construction stays steady across capitals and lowercase, with a cohesive, flowing cadence and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel suited to running text, though the hairline details suggest careful use at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts.
