A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms show a forward-leaning, calligraphic rhythm with gently bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings that often resolve into fine points. Proportions feel moderately tall and open, with smooth curves, restrained entry strokes, and a consistent, graceful slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing reads light and breathable, with a crisp, polished texture in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed, such as magazine features, cultural writing, and book or journal titling. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion communications, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially at larger sizes where the fine strokes can shine.
The tone is poised and cultivated, projecting sophistication without feeling overly ornate. Its light color and sweeping italic movement suggest a fashionable, editorial sensibility and a quiet sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic interpretation of conventional serif forms—prioritizing grace, lightness, and a smooth written cadence for elegant display and editorial emphasis.
Uppercase forms are elegant and relatively narrow in feel, with clean, classical construction and sharp finishing details. The numerals follow the same italic logic, keeping contrast and tapering consistent so they blend naturally into text settings.
