A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, combining crisp hairlines with slightly fuller stressed strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, and many joins and stroke endings resolve into subtle, calligraphic flicks rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are narrow and poised with understated flourish, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a restrained, flowing texture that keeps lines from becoming overly busy.
Well suited to book and chapter titles, pull quotes, magazine features, and other editorial moments where an italic voice is meant to feel polished and expressive. It also fits invitations, certificates, and premium branding where a refined, classical impression is desired, particularly at larger sizes where the hairlines and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, with a gentle, handwritten elegance rather than a rigid editorial feel. Its high-contrast shimmer and soft, sweeping curves suggest sophistication, tradition, and a quiet sense of luxury.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with a distinctly calligraphic accent—capturing the elegance of traditional serif italics while staying composed enough for extended phrases and titles.
Numerals and capitals retain the same refined contrast and slanted posture, giving mixed content a consistent color. The design favors grace over robustness: thin connecting strokes and tight inner counters contribute to a light, airy page presence at display sizes.
