A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, and terminals often finish in fine points or subtle teardrop shapes rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are light and sharp, with graceful entry/exit strokes and a generally narrow, flowing silhouette that keeps counters open despite the extreme contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same refined stroke logic, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine and cultural layouts, and elegant brand systems where an italic voice is desirable as the primary style. It also fits book covers, pull quotes, and short-form titling, as well as invitations and upscale packaging where fine contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its lightness and crisp contrast convey sophistication and restraint, leaning more toward luxury and literary refinement than everyday utilitarian warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end italic serif with a calligraphic sensibility—combining classic proportions with very fine hairlines and sharp detailing to create an expressive, elevated texture for display and editorial use.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and joins create a shimmering line texture, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines remain prominent. The italic forms show clear cursive influence in several lowercase shapes, enhancing the sense of movement and emphasis while maintaining a formal serif structure.
