A very slender italic serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and stressed strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entry/exit strokes and finely cut, bracketed serifs. Curves are clean and open, counters feel airy, and spacing reads on the generous side, helping the delicate strokes maintain clarity. Numerals and capitals share the same poised, sharply modulated construction, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book or magazine display, and premium brand identities where elegance and contrast are an asset. It also fits invitations and formal announcements, and can work for pull quotes or short passages when set with comfortable size and leading to support the thin strokes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, projecting quiet luxury and editorial refinement. Its thin, high-contrast strokes and flowing italic movement feel ceremonial and romantic rather than utilitarian, evoking classic book typography and high-end print aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic voice with a contemporary, polished finish—prioritizing grace, finesse, and an upscale typographic color for display and refined reading contexts.
The italic construction is continuous across uppercase and lowercase, with a graceful, slightly swashed feel in several forms and a crisp, pointed finishing behavior at terminals. The extremely fine hairlines suggest best use at sizes and output conditions that preserve delicate detail.
