A very delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The letterforms are strongly right-leaning and feel drawn from a calligraphic model, with pointed terminals, fine bracketed serifs, and a generally crisp, sharpened finish. Curves are wide and open (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls), while stems stay extremely slender, giving the face a light, floating texture and a generous sense of white space. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast, hairline-forward construction, keeping the overall color consistently pale and refined.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can remain clear—magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, packaging, and formal stationery. It can work as an accent face paired with a sturdier text serif or sans for body copy, especially in high-end or cultural contexts.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly dressy, editorial polish. Its thin strokes and elegant slant communicate sophistication and delicacy rather than robustness, suggesting a premium, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice pushed toward refinement: maximizing contrast and grace while preserving familiar bookish proportions. It prioritizes elegance and atmosphere in display settings, with an emphasis on flowing curves and precise, needle-like finishing strokes.
The rhythm is smooth and continuous, with subtle stroke flare and tapered joins that emphasize motion typical of italic forms. In extended text the hairline elements become a defining feature, so spacing and background contrast play an outsized role in perceived clarity.
