A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and very fine, sharply finished serifs. Strokes taper into hairlines with crisp terminals, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled tension that keeps counters open and clean. Capitals feel tall and poised with a restrained, formal rhythm, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow, including single-storey forms and long, delicate ascenders and descenders that emphasize the italic movement. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining narrow joins with elegant curves and thin finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is desirable for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classical, upscale serif impression is needed, particularly in larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and a quiet sense of tradition. Its light, shimmering hairlines and disciplined contrast read as upscale and formal, with an expressive italic cadence that feels graceful rather than exuberant.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic serif optimized for a refined reading texture and a sophisticated typographic palette. Its disciplined construction and hairline finishing suggest an intention to balance traditional authority with a light, graceful cadence.
The design relies on delicate detailing—especially in thin joins and serif tips—so the texture remains crisp and high-end at display and text sizes where the fine strokes can be preserved. The italic slant is consistent and lends continuity across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
