A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in their set with lively, angled stress, giving lines of text a forward, energetic rhythm. Serifs are delicate and sharply finished, often with subtle bracketing and tapered entries, while curves and joins feel smooth and controlled. Numerals and lowercase show a traditional, bookish construction, with italic-specific forms (notably in a, f, g, y) that emphasize graceful movement over rigidity.
Well suited to magazine layouts, cultured branding, and book typography where an expressive italic is desired. It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short to medium-length passages that benefit from a refined, high-contrast texture. The elegance also makes it a strong candidate for formal stationery and invitation work.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial tone—polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly high-fashion and literary sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sleek italics suggest refinement and ceremony, making it feel premium and expressive rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic italic text serif: prioritizing elegance, contrast, and calligraphic movement while maintaining conventional proportions for comfortable editorial use.
In paragraph settings the overall color stays airy, with thin strokes and fine serifs creating a delicate texture. The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, supporting continuous reading while still projecting a stylized, curated voice.
