A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline connections and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show strong diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, with slender entry strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs that stay understated. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in their internal proportions, with open counters and smooth, continuous curves; the overall texture reads light and flowing rather than dense. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated construction with thin joins and elegant curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book covers, magazine features, and other applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal announcements and luxury branding, especially in display sizes or as an accent italic alongside a roman companion.
The font conveys an editorial, cultured tone—poised and formal, with a quietly luxurious feel. Its lightness and steep italic angle give it a sense of motion and sophistication, lending a refined, literary voice to headlines and short-form reading.
Likely designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typesetting—prioritizing graceful movement, fine detailing, and a bright, refined texture in display and editorial contexts.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with long, clean diagonals and restrained detailing. The sample text shows a bright page color and a smooth line-to-line rhythm, emphasizing elegance over robustness at small sizes.
