A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp wedge-like entry strokes and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a lively slant, single-storey a, and a looping, two-storey g. Numerals are slender and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved strokes and light finishing details that maintain an overall airy texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined book or chapter titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when used at sizes that preserve its thin serifs and high-contrast strokes.
The tone is poised and literary, conveying formality without heaviness. Its fine details and steep contrast give it a polished, boutique sensibility—suited to sophisticated, editorial atmospheres rather than utilitarian UI settings.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic with a distinctly calligraphic flow, prioritizing elegance and expressive movement. It aims to deliver a refined reading texture and graceful emphasis for sophisticated typography.
The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with long ascenders/descenders and open apertures that keep text from feeling cramped. Hairline joins and thin cross-strokes contribute to a bright page color, but also suggest it will be most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
