A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and understated, letting the slanted stress and tapered strokes carry most of the character. The capitals feel tall and composed with narrow joins and sharp apexes, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic movement—single-storey forms like a and g, a long, flowing f, and a gently curved, descending y. Figures are similarly high-contrast with graceful curves and light finishing strokes, keeping the overall texture bright and spacious in text.
It performs best where an elegant italic is needed for extended passages or emphasis, such as editorial design, book typography, pull quotes, and refined invitations. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from high-contrast, calligraphic serif details.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial tone—polished and poised rather than loud. Its light touch and calligraphic lean suggest sophistication, tradition, and a sense of ceremony, making it feel well suited to literary or luxury contexts.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for conventional reading environments, balancing traditional serif structure with a graceful handwritten influence. Its consistent slant, restrained serifs, and airy stroke weight suggest a focus on refined tone and smooth text rhythm.
In continuous setting the rhythm is smooth and slightly formal, with clear word shapes driven by the italic construction and open counters. The hairline details and sharp joins create a crisp sparkle at larger sizes, while the fine serifs and thin strokes keep the color of the page on the lighter side.
