A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a crisp, shimmering texture. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively, calligraphic entry and exit strokes, and small, sharp serifs that often resolve into fine points. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with an overall tall, high-waisted feel and a notably short x-height that emphasizes ascenders and capitals. Spacing reads measured and even in text, while select glyphs show graceful, slightly swashed terminals that add movement without becoming ornamental.
Well-suited to magazine and fashion layouts, book jackets, and refined brand identities where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, headlines, pull quotes, and short-form typographic statements where its contrast and graceful terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font projects a poised, upscale tone—graceful and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its lightness and flowing italic rhythm feel sophisticated and intimate, suggesting luxury, romance, and careful craftsmanship rather than casual utility.
The design appears aimed at an elegant italic companion for sophisticated typography, prioritizing refined contrast, smooth curve logic, and a classic serif voice for editorial and display roles. Its proportions and delicate detailing suggest an intention to evoke traditional high-fashion and book typography while remaining clean and contemporary in finish.
In running text the strong contrast produces a sparkling cadence, with thin horizontals and hairline serifs contributing to a refined, print-like impression. Numerals follow the same elegant italic logic, with curved forms and fine finishing strokes that suit display and titling more than rugged informational settings.
