A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with a lively rightward slant, sharp joins, and tapered strokes that end in fine, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is light on the page, with long ascenders/descenders and crisp, controlled punctuation and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other contexts where a refined italic voice is needed. It works especially well for pull quotes, intros, captions with a premium tone, invitations, and brand touchpoints that benefit from delicacy and contrast.
The font conveys a poised, editorial sophistication—polished and literary rather than loud. Its light, high-contrast construction and flowing italics give it a graceful, formal tone suited to cultured, classical settings.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic companion for text work, emphasizing elegance and classical proportion through high contrast, tapered strokes, and carefully controlled serif detailing.
Uppercase shapes feel reserved and stately, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement, especially in letters with sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian at small sizes.
