This is a slanted serif with a delicate hairline presence and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are drawn with smooth, calligraphic tension, and the long, tapered entry/exit strokes create an energetic rightward flow. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with sharp terminals that stay controlled rather than ornamental. Uppercase forms feel tall and open, while lowercase shows compact, clean counters and italic-specific constructions (single-storey a and g) with graceful descenders and a crisp rhythm through the joins and arches.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also support premium branding, invitations, and packaging as a secondary typeface for emphasis, captions, or short passages where elegance and cadence matter.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing restraint with a sense of movement. Its fine details and sweeping strokes convey sophistication and a slightly romantic, editorial character, suited to high-end or formal messaging without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing graceful movement, crisp contrast, and a cultivated page color. It aims to provide an expressive yet disciplined voice for emphasis and refined reading experiences.
At text sizes, the sharp contrast and thin serifs read as crisp and fashionable, while the italic angle and generous curves emphasize motion in longer passages. Numerals appear similarly refined, with elegant curves and tapered strokes that match the letterforms’ calligraphic logic.
