A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with a mix of small bracketed joins and tapered, calligraphic terminals that keep the forms lively. The italic angle is assertive, producing a forward, flowing rhythm, while counters stay relatively open and the overall color remains light on the page. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, sculpted curves, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, slightly calligraphic logic with elegant, thin entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to magazine features, cultural/editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand or event materials where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for book jackets and section openers, especially when paired with a sturdier roman for longer passages.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing classical formality with a sense of motion and drama. It reads as sophisticated and fashion-adjacent, with a crisp, upscale sensibility suited to premium typography rather than utilitarian text.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with strong calligraphic influence and a premium, print-oriented finish. Emphasis is on graceful rhythm, sharp contrast, and a cultivated, traditional serif character for display-forward typography.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and sharp joins, so it will look best when reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small. The italic construction is expressive without becoming swashy, giving it a poised, editorial cadence across lines of text.
