A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly calligraphic axis. Serifs are sharp and hairline, often wedge-like, with tapered terminals and smooth, flowing joins that keep counters open despite the light stroke weight. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, with a measured rhythm and generous interior space; curves are clean and controlled, and diagonals (notably in N, V, W, X) read crisp and precise. Figures follow the same refined contrast, with elegant bowls and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and refined brand systems where an italic voice is central—pull quotes, leads, captions, and elegant headings. It also fits formal invitations and event materials that benefit from a classic, high-contrast italic presence.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and a quiet sense of luxury. Its lightness and sweeping italic movement lend a formal, poetic character rather than an emphatic or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, formal italic with a distinctly calligraphic flow and high-contrast refinement, prioritizing elegance and readability in display-to-text settings where a sophisticated tone is desired.
In longer text, the italic slant and high contrast create a lively texture that benefits from comfortable sizing and sufficient line spacing. The design emphasizes finesse over robustness, with very thin hairlines that can visually recede at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts.
