A high-contrast serif italic with slender stems, thin hairlines, and sharply tapered terminals. The design shows pronounced stroke modulation and a consistent rightward slant, with pointed entry/exit strokes and delicately bracketed serifs that feel crisp rather than blunt. Letterforms are narrow and poised, with generous internal counters and an even, flowing rhythm in text; numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic movement.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and cultured branding where an elegant italic is a key part of the typographic palette. It also works effectively for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and event materials—where its sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic gestures suggest a formal, premium voice suited to polished communication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a classic italic voice with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, prioritizing sophistication, flow, and a polished page color for literature- and fashion-adjacent typography.
In running text the italic angle and strong contrast create a lively texture and clear directional flow, while the thin connecting strokes and tapered joins give the face a distinctly drawn, pen-like character. The uppercase has a stately presence, and the lowercase maintains a smooth cadence with compact, graceful curves.
