A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a consistent forward slant and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with fine hairlines and sharper entries/exits that keep counters open despite the light weight. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving into pointed wedges rather than flat feet, and the overall texture is airy with generous internal space. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised, while the lowercase is fluid with narrow joins and an understated rhythm that reads smoothly in continuous text.
This style is well suited to editorial typography where an italic is used prominently—magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines—as well as book covers and cultured brand applications. It can also work for invitations and formal announcements where a light, high-contrast italic adds ceremony and elegance, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font projects a polished, cultivated tone—more salon and literature than casual note. Its light, high-contrast italic voice suggests sophistication and restraint, with a subtle sense of motion that feels formal and expressive rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for refined reading and display, prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and a bright page color. Its restrained detailing and consistent modulation suggest a focus on timeless editorial use rather than novelty.
Several characters emphasize elegance through long, sweeping curves (notably in the Q and some lowercase ascenders/descenders), giving headings a graceful flourish without becoming overly decorative. Numerals share the same refined contrast and slanted stance, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed text.
