A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic slant with gently tapered strokes, bracketed serifs, and smooth entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, flowing rhythm. Proportions are moderately tall with open counters and a clean baseline presence; uppercase forms feel stately while lowercase maintains an airy texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic movement, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where a refined italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and formal announcements, especially when ample spacing and high-quality output preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, evoking editorial sophistication and classical book typography. Its light color and sharp contrast give it a polished, high-end feel that suits formal, poetic, or fashion-oriented settings.
Designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with a graceful, calligraphic rhythm—prioritizing elegance, nuance, and typographic sophistication over rugged everyday utility.
Curved characters (like C, G, S, and the round forms in the lowercase) emphasize smooth, controlled curves and fine finishing details, while diagonals and joins remain slender and precise. The italic angle is consistent across the set, helping longer text lines maintain a cohesive forward momentum.
