A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The forms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, using narrow entry/exit strokes and gently bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine points. Capitals are sharp and sculpted with small wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, open counters, and occasional swash tendencies (notably in letters like g, y, and z). Numerals are similarly elegant, with thin linking strokes and subtle curls that keep the set airy and refined.
Well suited to magazine features, high-end branding, and elegant invitations where an italic voice is desirable. It can shine in headings, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from a refined, calligraphic texture; for longer text, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone feels sophisticated and editorial, with a poised, high-fashion elegance. Its light touch and expressive italics read as formal and polished rather than casual, evoking luxury stationery and classic book typography.
The font appears designed to provide a classic italic companion with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast voice—prioritizing grace, motion, and finely drawn details for sophisticated typography.
The design relies on fine details—thin cross-strokes and hairline serifs—so clarity will depend strongly on size and reproduction quality. The italic angle and stroke contrast create a lively texture in words, giving headlines a graceful sweep.
