This typeface is a slender italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and an overall airy texture. Strokes are fine and tapered, with clear modulation between stems and hairlines, and sharp, wedge-like terminals that read as crisp serifs rather than slabs. The capitals are tall and narrow with a graceful, slightly calligraphic construction, while the lowercase uses compact, flowing forms and a single-storey “g” that reinforces the italic, handwritten impulse. Curves are smooth and tight, joins are clean, and spacing is kept relatively tight to maintain a continuous rhythm in text.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and refined headings. It can also work well for formal stationery and brand applications that want a classic, upscale impression, especially when paired with a sturdier roman for body text.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its narrow, swift italic movement suggests sophistication and discretion, with a literary and editorial flavor that feels at home in classic, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, space-efficient italic serif with a strong sense of motion and classic typographic manners. Its narrow proportions and crisp terminals suggest a focus on refined display and editorial emphasis rather than rugged, utilitarian reading at very small sizes.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and tapered curves create a shimmering texture that benefits from generous line spacing and moderate sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, italicized logic and appear designed to blend into running text rather than dominate it.
