A delicate, hairline serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a gently calligraphic modulation that keeps the texture light on the page. Capitals feel statuesque and open, while the lowercase shows narrow joins, slender stems, and smooth bowls; the italic rhythm is continuous rather than sharply broken. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin entry strokes and graceful curves that preserve an even, airy color in text.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine and book-jacket display, and premium branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work for short passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes, and it shines in headings, deck lines, and formal materials such as invitations where fine detail is an asset.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, suggesting editorial polish and classic sophistication. Its lightness and high contrast lend a sense of luxury and restraint, while the italic movement adds a graceful, expressive cadence rather than a forceful emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, high-contrast italic serif for sophisticated typography, balancing classical proportions with a light, contemporary sharpness. It prioritizes grace, rhythm, and an elevated feel over ruggedness or utilitarian robustness.
In the text sample, spacing reads generous enough to keep counters open at larger sizes, but the very thin hairlines and sharp contrast suggest it will look most confident when printing and rendering conditions are favorable. The design’s elegance comes from consistent tapering, crisp serifs, and smooth, flowing curves that avoid blunt endings.
