A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing. The letterforms are tall and gently condensed, with a consistent rightward slant and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered entries and exits that often end in subtle teardrop-like terminals, and curves show crisp, high-contrast transitions. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, supporting a light, polished color on the page while maintaining an expressive italic cadence.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, lookbooks, and cultured headlines where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits luxury branding accents, invitations, and refined packaging, and can work for book titling or pull quotes where its high-contrast detail can be appreciated at sufficient size.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—graceful and stylish, with a slightly dramatic, editorial flair. Its lightness and crisp contrast suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, high-contrast italic companion for classic serif typography, emphasizing refinement, rhythm, and a fashionable sense of movement. Its narrow proportions and hairline features prioritize sophistication and display clarity over rugged, everyday text utility.
Uppercase forms lean toward restrained elegance with smooth, open counters and thin connecting strokes, while the lowercase italic introduces more cursive influence (notably in letters like a, f, g, y, and z) through extended strokes and lively terminals. Numerals share the same refined contrast and angled stress, reading as ornamental yet coherent with the text style.
