This is a delicate, high-contrast italic serif with fine hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes show a consistent diagonal stress and smooth, calligraphic modulation, with long, gently sweeping entry and exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm across words. Capitals are slender and slightly wide-set with sharp apexes and elegant curves, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with narrow, cursive-like forms and restrained terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, using thin cross-strokes and graceful curves that keep them light on the page.
It suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined subheads where a graceful italic voice is desirable. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and packaging accents, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairline details and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and refined, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-oriented elegance. Its lightness and sweeping italic movement feel formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of luxury and sophistication.
The design intent appears to be a classic, high-contrast italic tailored for elegant display and editorial typography, emphasizing calligraphic motion and finesse over ruggedness or dense text economy.
Spacing appears open enough to preserve clarity despite the hairline details, and the italic angle remains steady across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The ampersand and curved letters emphasize the font’s fluid, written gesture, while straight-sided letters keep a controlled, classic structure.
