A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that stay clean at display sizes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, using tapered entry and exit strokes and finely bracketed serifs that often resolve into sharp, wedge-like terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic construction with fluid curves, a single-storey a, a looped g, and lively ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender diagonals and crisp finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and premium packaging that benefit from refined contrast and graceful movement. In extended text, it works best when size and printing/display conditions preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classical book typography and cultivated editorial styling. Its steep contrast and fine details convey sophistication and restraint, with a subtle handwritten energy that adds warmth without becoming informal.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif expression with crisp contrast and a composed, upscale texture. The forms prioritize elegance and forward rhythm, balancing traditional proportions with a slightly calligraphic finish for expressive, high-end typography.
Spacing appears comfortably generous in the samples, helping the thin strokes breathe and keeping the italic flow legible. The italic angle and tapering terminals create a strong forward motion, making longer lines look dynamic while still maintaining a formal, typographic voice.
