A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms are narrow and slightly condensed, with a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, and many strokes end in tapered terminals, giving curves a polished, sculpted feel. Lowercase forms show a traditional italic structure with lively entry/exit strokes, while numerals appear similarly slender and refined, blending seamlessly with the text color in running lines.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading contexts where an elegant italic is desired. It can also shine in refined headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and cultural or luxury branding that needs a classic, high-contrast serif tone.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with an old-world sophistication that reads as quiet luxury rather than bold display. Its high-contrast sparkle and graceful italic motion suggest classic book and magazine typography, suited to conveying taste, poetry, and ceremony.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic text voice with a refined, literary cadence. The intent appears to balance traditional serif authority with the expressive movement of an italic, producing a graceful texture for sophisticated typography.
In continuous text the spacing and diagonals create a flowing, slightly airy texture; thin details will benefit from adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve hairlines. The italic character is strong enough to function as a primary voice, not just an accompaniment.
