A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, combining finely tapered serifs with sharp, clean joins and pointed apexes. Curves are drawn with restraint and precision, and spacing feels open, helping the light strokes stay legible. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and long, graceful extenders.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works for refined branding, invitations, and other formal communications, especially at sizes and printing conditions that preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its bright contrast and restrained detail read as polished and editorial, with a subtle calligraphic warmth rather than overt ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with high contrast and a light, contemporary touch. It prioritizes elegance, a smooth typographic color, and a disciplined serif structure for refined text and display accents.
The numerals match the italic flow with similarly tapered strokes and crisp finishing, maintaining a consistent contrast and light texture across mixed content. The design favors finesse over robustness, so its character is most apparent where the thin strokes can breathe.
