A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms are narrow and forward-leaning, with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and gently bracketed serifs that taper into sharp points. Curves are clean and controlled, counters stay open despite the slender build, and spacing feels even, giving text a continuous, flowing texture. Capitals are slightly formal and compact, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and tapered ascenders and descenders that reinforce the slanted movement.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book typography where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve in refined invitations, packaging, and brand applications that benefit from a graceful, classic tone, especially at display and comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of classic sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and graceful italics read as luxurious and editorial, suggesting premium publishing and high-end branding rather than casual everyday use.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with a modern, clean finish—prioritizing elegance, forward motion, and a polished page color for sophisticated text and display settings.
The numerals follow the same elegant, tapered construction, with several figures showing italic movement and fine terminals that will reward larger sizes. In the sample text, the strong diagonal rhythm and bright whites between strokes create a lively, energetic line while maintaining a composed, traditional serif character.
