A delicate italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with long, flowing entry and exit strokes that create a continuous, forward-leaning rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, often resolving into hairline terminals, while curves stay taut and controlled for a clean, editorial texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted stance, reading as formal and text-oriented rather than geometric or utilitarian.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined website typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or atmosphere. It can also serve as a display italic for fashion, arts, and cultural branding, and works nicely for invitations or programs where elegance and formality are desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking classic book typography and contemporary luxury editorial design at once. Its airy hairlines and brisk italic motion feel poised and expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of sophistication and restraint.
Designed to provide a graceful, high-contrast italic companion with a distinctly literary and editorial feel, balancing calligraphic energy with conventional serif structure. The intent appears to prioritize sophistication and readability in longer lines while preserving a striking, stylish presence in larger sizes.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with lively swashes on select forms (notably in the lowercase) that add movement in headlines. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a smooth line of text while keeping a crisp, bright page color.
