A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and a smooth, forward slant, supported by fine bracketed serifs that end in crisp, pointed terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic, pen-driven logic—especially in the curved joins and the way horizontals and diagonals thin to needle-like finishes—creating a bright texture and lively rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction with graceful curves and slender serifs.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes. The high-contrast, finely finished details also make it a strong choice for luxury or cultural branding, packaging accents, and formal invitations, especially at sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a refined, fashion-forward polish. Its airy contrast and sweeping italics suggest classic bookish sophistication while still feeling poised and contemporary in display settings.
Likely designed as a classic text-serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic character, aiming to combine traditional refinement with a spacious, modern proportion. The intent appears focused on delivering an elegant, articulate voice for emphasis and display within editorial systems.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with energetic entry/exit strokes and distinctive curved terminals that add motion. In running text it reads as a smooth, continuous cursive texture rather than a rigid mechanical italic, emphasizing grace over density.
