A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. Hairline serifs and tapered terminals combine with gently cupped curves, creating a crisp, polished texture. The italic construction shows a steady forward slant and calligraphic influence, with lively entry/exit strokes and subtly varied letter widths that keep the rhythm fluid. Numerals mirror the same refinement, with slender joins and clean, high-contrast curves.
Well suited for editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—magazine features, book titling, pull quotes, and refined branding. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, especially in display and short-to-medium text settings where its hairlines can remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward a traditional, literary elegance. Its light touch and sharp detailing feel formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, suggesting sophistication and restraint.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic high-contrast italic with a refined, contemporary cleanliness—prioritizing graceful movement, sharp detail, and a sophisticated typographic tone for editorial and upscale applications.
In longer text, the high contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, airy page color, while the italic movement adds a sense of motion and emphasis. The design reads best when given enough size and spacing to preserve the thin strokes and sharp serifs.
