A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show strong rightward slant and a lively calligraphic rhythm, with narrow overall proportions and open, smoothly drawn bowls. Terminals are sharp and tapered, giving strokes a swept, pen-like finish; capitals feel tall and poised, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable structure with clean joins and restrained curvature. Numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted logic, appearing elegant and slightly compressed.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine and catalog settings, and elegant display applications where a refined italic voice is needed. It can work effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and brand headlines, and is also appropriate for formal stationery or invitations when set with generous spacing and size.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, suggesting editorial sophistication and a sense of classical taste. Its energetic italic flow feels expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a cultured, literary voice to text.
The font appears designed to deliver a sophisticated italic serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast, fine detailing, and a controlled, calligraphic motion.
The design’s strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright page color at larger sizes, while the italic angle and tight proportions produce a quick, forward-moving texture in paragraphs. Curves and diagonals are especially prominent, contributing to a sleek, graceful silhouette.
