A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show a steep rightward slant, narrow entry/exit strokes, and finely bracketed serifs that often resolve into sharp points rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and drawn with a calligraphic rhythm, with slightly flared joins and a consistent, airy color in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slant, with graceful curves and small, incisive finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors with italic emphasis, and magazine features where elegance is desired. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, certificates, and fashion or luxury branding, particularly in headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where its refined contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication and classic formality. Its calligraphic energy and sharp detailing give it a poised, upscale feel that reads as traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic finish, offering a refined voice for emphasis and display while remaining grounded in conventional serif construction.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and high contrast create an expressive rhythm, with distinctive swash-like touches on certain lowercase forms (notably the w) that add flourish without turning fully into script. The sharpness of terminals and thin hairlines suggests it will look best where rendering is clean and sizes aren’t extremely small.
