A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that taper to sharp, clean terminals. The forms are narrow and slanted with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing long ascenders/descenders and gently curved entry strokes. Counters are open and the overall color stays light and airy, with refined curves in letters like C, G, S, and the italic lowercase showing flowing joins and a single‑storey a and g.
Best suited for display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and refined branding where its contrast and slanted forms can read as intentional and luxurious. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and works well for short to medium text passages when set large with comfortable leading.
The tone is polished and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and a sense of quiet luxury. Its crisp contrast and graceful slant lend it a poised, formal voice suited to premium and literary contexts rather than utilitarian reading at small sizes.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary, high‑contrast italic companion for sophisticated typography, prioritizing grace, speed-of-writing cues, and a polished page presence over robustness. Its emphasis on slender hairlines, sharp serifs, and fluent cursive structure suggests a focus on expressive, upscale communication.
The numeral set follows the same high-contrast italic logic, with slender strokes and elegant curves (notably in 2, 3, and 9). The sample text shows a consistent diagonal stress and smooth spacing that supports flowing word shapes, though the fine hairlines suggest it benefits from adequate size and supportive printing or screen rendering conditions.
