A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, sharply finished serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a smooth, calligraphic flow, while maintaining clear, conventional text-serif structure. Strokes often end in fine points and subtle curves, producing a polished rhythm and an airy page color at display and text sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book typography (especially for emphasis and quotations), and cultured branding where a light, sophisticated serif italic is desired. It can also serve effectively in invitations, identity systems, and product packaging that benefit from a refined, high-contrast tone.
This typeface conveys a refined, editorial tone with a sense of formality and poise. Its slanted posture and crisp contrast give it a stylish, slightly dramatic voice that reads as cultured and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice for continuous reading and headline use, combining classical serif conventions with a light, high-contrast build. It emphasizes grace and clarity through open shapes, careful spacing, and sharp finishing details that keep the texture lively without becoming heavy.
The numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast styling as the letters, with clean curves and fine terminals that match the italic rhythm. Overall spacing looks comfortable and the forms remain legible despite the delicate hairlines, giving the face a composed, polished texture in running text.
