A delicate italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and sharply tapered stroke endings. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with hairline horizontals and stronger downstrokes creating a crisp, high-contrast texture. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively, calligraphic modulation, and the italic construction produces a consistent rightward flow across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and sharp terminals, giving the face a poised, editorial feel.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works for refined branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when set with generous spacing or used for emphasis within a text system.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, leaning toward literary and fashion-forward sophistication. Its brisk, slanted rhythm feels expressive without becoming ornamental, communicating formality, taste, and clarity.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a strong emphasis on classical proportion and calligraphic stroke contrast. It aims to provide an expressive, refined companion for reading and display contexts, prioritizing rhythm, sparkle, and typographic elegance.
The italic angle is noticeable and consistent, and the face relies on thin joins and hairlines for its sparkle—details that read especially crisp at larger sizes. Lowercase forms show a smooth, continuous stroke logic, while capitals stay restrained and classical rather than decorative.
