A delicate italic serif with slender, tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line. Curves are smooth and round with open counters, while joins stay crisp and controlled, giving the letterforms a clean, polished rhythm. The capitals are spacious and lightly constructed, and the lowercase shows a lively handwritten influence with a single-storey a, long ascenders, and a gently flowing italic angle. Numerals follow the same fine-line logic, with graceful curves and minimal, sharp finishing details.
Best suited to large text and display settings where its fine strokes and flared finishing can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book and magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant invitations. In longer passages it can work for refined pull quotes or short blocks at comfortable sizes with ample leading, where its airy spacing and italic cadence remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, balancing classic bookish sophistication with a modern, fashion-forward lightness. Its soft calligraphic motion and generous spacing create an airy, premium feel that reads as quiet luxury rather than ornamental display.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice that nods to calligraphy while staying restrained and contemporary. Its flared terminals and tapered construction suggest a focus on elegance and motion, aiming for premium typography that feels light, polished, and expressive without becoming ornate.
The flared stroke endings and tapered entries/exits are especially apparent in letters like C, E, F, T, and S, and in the curved forms of O/Q and 2/3. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are clean and sharp, reinforcing a crisp, editorial character despite the light construction.
