A refined italic serif with a crisp, high-contrast stroke model and sharply tapered hairlines. Letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, narrow apertures, and smooth, calligraphic transitions between thick and thin, with delicate bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Capitals are poised and slightly restrained, while the lowercase has lively italics with clear entry/exit strokes and a gentle, flowing rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined book interiors where an italic voice is needed. It also fits premium brand identities, packaging, and formal announcements that benefit from a graceful, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking editorial sophistication and classic bookish elegance. Its airy hairlines and graceful motion give it a boutique, high-end feel without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for elegant typography, balancing classical proportions with lively, calligraphic movement. Its detailing prioritizes finesse and a polished texture in setting, aiming for an upscale, literary impression.
Numerals match the text color with similarly sharp contrast and fine terminals, suitable for inline figures. The sample text shows strong word-shape formation and a smooth cadence, though the finest strokes suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions can preserve thin details.
