A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms are relatively compact and vertically oriented, with long, flowing ascenders and descenders that create a lively rhythm in text. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, and many strokes end in pointed beaks or subtle hooks, giving the shapes a crisp, engraved feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same disciplined, high-contrast logic, with a graceful italic slant and carefully controlled curves.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or magazine applications, and refined long-form settings where an italic voice is needed. It also fits premium branding, fashion or beauty packaging, and invitations or announcements that benefit from a classic, formal tone.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, balancing formality with a handwritten, editorial sophistication. Its airy stroke weight and calligraphic motion suggest tradition, polish, and a quiet sense of luxury rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic text serif with an emphasis on grace and contrast, capturing a timeless, bookish character while maintaining a polished, contemporary crispness.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and tight, elegant rhythm read best when given comfortable size and spacing; the sharp joins and thin connecting strokes emphasize finesse over sturdiness. The italic construction is consistent across cases, with a noticeably cursive flow in letters like a, e, g, and y and a classic, dignified presence in the capitals.
