A delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and sharply tapered terminals. The forms are narrow and lightly built, with a smooth diagonal stress and a consistent rightward slant that creates a flowing rhythm. Serifs are small and precise, often wedge-like, and joins are clean with restrained modulation rather than dramatic thick–thin swings. Curves are open and neatly drawn, with generous counters and long, graceful extenders that keep the texture light on the page.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light, elegant italic is needed—magazine features, book jackets, chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined brand applications. It will also work for invitations or packaging where a graceful, high-end tone is desired, especially at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and literary, leaning toward classic editorial elegance rather than display theatrics. Its thin strokes and crisp finishing details convey refinement and a cultured, bookish voice, with a subtle calligraphic softness that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated, classical italic companion for text and titling, prioritizing elegance, pace, and a light typographic color. Its narrow proportions and finely cut serifs suggest a focus on graceful emphasis and premium editorial styling over rugged everyday utility.
In uppercase, the design emphasizes slender verticals and calm, open bowls, while the lowercase carries much of the personality through long ascenders/descenders and italic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same airy, fine-line approach, reading as formal and understated rather than robust.
