A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms show a clear rightward slant, narrow joins, and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow with vertical stress. Serifs are small and sharp, often finishing in fine points; curves are open and clean, and counters stay airy. Capitals feel stately and slightly restrained, while the lowercase is more animated, with long ascending strokes, a tapered f, and an elegant, looping italic construction throughout. Numerals match the text’s refinement, with thin connecting strokes and high contrast details.
Best suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work well for invitations, fashion or cultural branding, pull quotes, and refined packaging when set at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of old-world sophistication. Its light touch and crisp details give it a formal, cultured voice suited to premium and editorial settings rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated, high-contrast italic for expressive text setting—prioritizing grace, movement, and classical proportions over ruggedness or small-size neutrality.
The italic rhythm is consistent across the alphabet, creating a continuous forward motion in text. Fine hairlines and pointed terminals become prominent at larger sizes, where the sharpness and contrast read as intentional refinement.
