A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic slant with tapered terminals, lightly bracketed serifs, and a crisp, chiseled feel in the joins and curves. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively spacing, and the overall rhythm is smooth and flowing, especially in the lowercase where ascenders and descenders add vertical elegance. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender strokes and graceful curves that match the text color.
Well suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form compositions where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and refined headlines or pull quotes, especially where generous sizing and clean printing or high-resolution screens can preserve its fine detailing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and classical formality. Its thin hairlines and flowing italic movement give it a poised, upscale voice that feels best in carefully composed typography rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, classical italic with strong calligraphic influence and a light, sophisticated texture. It aims to balance traditional serif conventions with a graceful, expressive slant for high-end editorial and display use.
The italic forms include distinctive, slightly calligraphic details (notably in the lowercase and the curled forms like j and y), which adds personality while keeping the design firmly traditional. At smaller sizes, the very fine hairlines suggest it will benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions.
