A high-contrast italic serif with a flowing, calligraphy-informed rhythm and delicate hairlines. Stems and main curves carry noticeable thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and small, bracketed serifs that stay understated rather than blocky. The letterforms are relatively open and generously spaced, with smooth joins and a consistent rightward slant; rounded glyphs (like O and o) show a gentle diagonal stress. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable texture with long, elegant ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form content where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display applications such as invitations, cultural branding, premium packaging, and pull quotes, where its contrast and graceful slant can be featured.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing formality with a graceful, handwritten liveliness. It reads as classic and cultivated, with a quiet sophistication suited to premium editorial or cultural contexts rather than utilitarian UI settings.
Likely designed to provide a conventional text-serif foundation with an expressive italic character—combining classical proportions with a more calligraphic, high-contrast stroke model for a polished, upscale reading experience.
The figures appear lining and set with the same italic momentum as the letters, matching the typeface’s airy color and sharp contrast. Several glyphs show subtle calligraphic flicks at entry/exit strokes, which adds sparkle at display sizes while remaining composed in continuous text.
