A very delicate italic serif with hairline strokes, flowing entry/exit terminals, and softly bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Curves are generously drawn and slightly elastic, giving the letters a graceful, handwritten rhythm despite a clearly typographic construction. Capitals are narrow and poised with long, thin arms and diagonals, while the lowercase shows a modest x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent teardrop-like terminals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with thin joins and open counters, keeping the overall color light and sparkling on the page.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, fashion or beauty branding, and short refined copy where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve as an accent face in layouts—pull quotes, chapter openers, or display lines—where its airy texture and calligraphic terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is cultured and romantic, leaning toward classical editorial elegance rather than contemporary minimalism. Its slender, sweeping italic movement suggests sophistication, ceremony, and a touch of old-world charm.
Likely designed to capture the grace of formal calligraphy within a crisp, typographic italic serif, prioritizing elegance and movement over robustness. The emphasis on tapered hairlines and swashy terminal behavior suggests a display-forward intent with enough structure to remain readable in short text settings.
The design relies heavily on fine hairlines and tapered stroke endings, so it reads best where rendering can preserve delicate details. The italic slant is consistent and the spacing feels open, producing a calm, airy texture in continuous text.
