A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with generous sidebearings, producing an airy rhythm and strong diagonal flow. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, while many strokes finish in tapered, calligraphic points rather than blunt endings. Curves show an oblique stress and smooth, continuous joins, giving capitals a stately silhouette and lowercase an agile, handwritten cadence.
Works well for editorial display and refined reading contexts such as magazine features, book front matter, pull quotes, and section openers. It also suits premium branding, packaging, and invitations where a light, elegant italic voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and hairlines can breathe.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and a sense of classic formality. Its light touch and sweeping italics feel expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a tasteful, high-end character suited to cultured or fashion-leaning settings.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for conventional serif typography, emphasizing calligraphic movement, high contrast, and a polished page color. It prioritizes elegance and nuance over sturdiness, aiming to deliver a graceful, premium texture in both capitals and running text.
The numerals appear similarly refined with thin hairlines and elegant curves, aligning well with the italic texture. Descenders and ascenders are relatively long and fluid, which enhances the graceful motion but benefits from comfortable leading in text settings.
