This is a delicate, sharply tapered italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic flow, with long, fine entry and exit strokes and gently bracketed serifs that often resolve into pointed terminals. Curves are open and airy, counters are generous, and capitals are narrow and poised, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with slightly extended ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing thin hairlines with emphasized diagonals and subtle curls on some terminals.
Well suited for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined editorial typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits formal invitations, luxury branding accents, and book or album covers that benefit from a sophisticated italic voice, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and graceful, evoking editorial sophistication and a classic, formal sensibility. Its high contrast and slender build suggest luxury and ceremony more than utilitarian text, lending an elevated, composed voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic expression with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm—prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and a premium feel for expressive typography rather than dense, long-form setting.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and crisp joins read especially clean and dramatic, while tighter settings may demand extra care with spacing due to the light strokes and long italic extenders. The italic construction feels purposeful rather than merely slanted, with strong cursive influence in the lowercase and a stately presence in the capitals.
