A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are tall and slightly narrow in feel, with a lively rightward slant and carefully tapered entry and exit strokes. Serifs are fine and bracket-free or minimally bracketed in appearance, contributing to a clean, polished rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and spacing reads even in text despite the light strokes and high contrast.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its hairline details can be appreciated, such as magazine features, book covers, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can also work for short-form reading in print or high-resolution contexts, especially where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial elegance—poised and slightly dramatic, yet restrained. Its lightness and crisp contrast give it a refined, premium tone associated with classic book typography and fashion-forward layouts rather than utilitarian UI type.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic serif with strong contrast and a smooth, literary texture—more expressive than a neutral text italic, yet disciplined enough for polished editorial typography.
In the sample text, the italic construction remains consistent across capitals and lowercase, with distinctive, gently calligraphic joins and tapered strokes that help maintain flow. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and graceful, pairing well with the letterforms for typographic settings that require a polished figure style.
