A very slender italic serif with crisp, finely tapered strokes and small, sharp serifs. The letterforms show calligraphic modulation with delicate joins and a smooth, continuous rhythm, while counters remain open and clean at text sizes. Capitals are narrow and poised with graceful curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S), and the overall spacing feels light and breathable, giving lines a flowing, slightly formal cadence.
This style suits magazine features, literary headers, pull quotes, and elegant brand applications where a light, graceful italic can carry tone. It works well for short-to-medium passages in refined layouts, and is especially effective in titles, subheads, and formal stationery where its delicate serifs and flowing rhythm can be appreciated.
The font conveys a quiet, cultured elegance—more editorial and literary than utilitarian. Its thin, precise construction reads as sophisticated and understated, with a gentle sense of motion from the consistent italic slant.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic text voice with a more rarefied, hairline presence—prioritizing elegance and typographic finesse over ruggedness. Its narrow, poised capitals and calligraphic details suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and high-end display use.
Round characters like O and Q are drawn with refined, near-oval geometry, and the Q has a long, calligraphic tail that becomes a strong signature in display settings. Numerals are similarly light and stylish, with a distinctive, open-curved "2" and smooth, looped "8" that match the overall pen-like flow.
