A very slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and long, tapering hairlines. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, using sharp wedge-like terminals and fine, minimally bracketed serifs that often resolve into pointed tips rather than heavy feet. Curves are generous and clean, with narrow joins and high-contrast transitions that keep counters open despite the light strokes. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase forms are fluid and continuous, with extended ascenders/descenders and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters such as Q, g, y, and z). Numerals follow the same airy construction, with elegant loops and thin finishing strokes.
Well suited to upscale editorial typography, magazine features, and pull quotes where a polished italic is desired. It can add refinement to brand wordmarks, packaging, and invitations, and works especially well for short headlines or medium-sized text where the hairlines have enough room to hold.
The overall tone is graceful and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial and fashion-minded refinement. Its lightness and high contrast create a poised, formal voice, while the italic movement adds a sense of handwritten elegance and forward motion.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif with a literary feel—combining classic serif structure with delicately drawn, calligraphic gestures for elegant display and editorial settings.
Spacing appears generous, helping the delicate strokes read in text, and the italic angle is consistent across cases and figures. Several characters show distinctive, display-friendly details—such as the sweeping Q tail and the lively descenders—which contribute personality without breaking the font’s overall restraint.
