A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic axis. Serifs are fine and tapering, with sharp, blade-like entry and exit strokes and occasional curved or slightly bracketed joins that soften the transitions. The letterforms are narrowly drawn in places but remain open, with smooth curves and crisp pointed terminals that give the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, producing a light, gliding texture in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and crisp details can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and invitations when set with generous spacing and enough size to preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its high contrast and sharp finishing details read as luxurious and formal, suggesting classic print sensibilities and a cultured, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic voice for contemporary layouts, combining traditional serif forms with a light, graceful texture. Its emphasis on contrast and sharp terminals suggests a focus on elegance and expressive typographic tone over utilitarian small-size text settings.
In the sample text, the rhythm is driven by strong diagonal movement and thin connecting strokes, creating an airy color that favors larger sizes. The italic forms feel purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with expressive curves in letters like g, y, and Q that add personality without becoming decorative.
