A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic cadence, pairing gently bracketed serifs with tapered strokes and crisp entry/exit points. Capitals are narrow and poised with long, sweeping curves, while the lowercase shows a fluid rhythm, a single-storey italic a, and graceful ascenders/descenders that stay controlled rather than extravagant. Numerals are similarly light and sculpted, with open counters and fine finishing strokes that maintain an even, refined color in text despite the extreme contrast.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, luxury brand systems, and cultural or literary layouts where elegance is a priority. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery like invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable leading and generous margins.
The overall tone is sophisticated and airy, evoking editorial polish and high-end restraint. Its thin strokes and stylish slant give it a cultured, fashion-leaning voice that feels formal without becoming stiff.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic text serif character with heightened contrast and a polished, contemporary finish. It prioritizes grace, rhythm, and refined detail for display and editorial typography rather than utilitarian, small-size robustness.
Because key strokes resolve into very fine hairlines, it reads best when given sufficient size, spacing, and contrast against the background; at smaller sizes the light joins and terminals can visually soften. The italic construction remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs keep a coherent, flowing texture.
