A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with angled, calligraphic terminals that keep counters open and forms lively. Proportions feel balanced and moderately tall, with a flowing italic slant and smooth, continuous curves; the overall rhythm is light on the page, with clear stroke joins and crisp silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and elegant invitations where an italic voice is central. It works especially well for pull quotes, intros, captions at comfortable sizes, and headline or titling use where the fine serifs and contrast can remain crisp.
The tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of refinement and traditional sophistication. Its lightness and high contrast create an airy, upscale presence that feels suited to cultured, editorial contexts rather than utilitarian reading at small sizes.
The design appears intended as a refined, classical italic for sophisticated typography, emphasizing calligraphic motion and high-contrast elegance. It aims to provide a graceful, authoritative tone for formal, literary, and editorial compositions.
The figures and capitals show the same disciplined contrast and tapered finishing, giving numerals a dressy, display-leaning character. In text, the italic movement is consistent and smooth, producing a graceful line with noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes.
