A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline terminals. The design shows a steady rightward slant, narrow proportions, and a smooth, calligraphic flow through joins and curves. Serifs are finely bracketed and understated, with tapered entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals in places; counters remain open and the overall texture stays light and crisp. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and oblique rhythm, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined display passages where an italic voice is desired. It can work effectively for invitations, luxury branding, and short headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a graceful, high-contrast texture.
The tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of cultured sophistication and classical formality. Its airy weight and graceful slant feel suited to high-end, poetic, or fashion-adjacent typography, where elegance and nuance are more important than ruggedness.
Likely intended as a sophisticated italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing elegance, contrast, and calligraphic motion. The design prioritizes refined detail and a polished reading rhythm over rugged, small-size utility.
The letterforms favor slender verticals and long, sweeping diagonals, creating a lively cadence in continuous text. Round forms (like O/Q and the bowls of b/p) show clean, controlled stress and a consistent finishing style, helping the font maintain an even, refined page color despite the strong contrast.
