A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered entries and exits that keep strokes crisp without feeling rigid. Capitals are poised and slightly formal, while lowercase forms show lively cursive structure—single-storey a and g, a looping f, and a gently descending y—creating an even, slanted rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined contrast with narrow proportions and clean, tapered terminals.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or captions. It can also serve refined branding, packaging accents, and formal invitations where a classic serif italic adds sophistication without heavy weight.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic editorial typography and a sense of quiet sophistication. Its light touch and graceful slant feel cultured and romantic rather than bold or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with a distinctly calligraphic sensibility—balancing traditional serif construction with graceful movement and high contrast for a premium, print-oriented feel.
The face maintains consistent contrast and spacing across the alphabet, producing a smooth texture in continuous text. Curves are generously rounded, and many joins resolve into pointed, pen-like terminals that add sparkle at larger sizes while remaining controlled in paragraphs.
