A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairlines. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with a slightly calligraphic, pen-driven flow in the joins and terminals. The capitals are tall and poised with restrained flourishes, while the lowercase shows a smooth cursive rhythm, open apertures, and a gently tapered entry/exit behavior that keeps word shapes fluid. Figures are similarly slanted and high-contrast, with narrow joins and crisp curves that suit setting at text and display sizes where detail can hold.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or secondary hierarchies. It can also serve upscale branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a refined, classical serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and refined editorial styling. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a sense of sophistication and quiet drama to headings and emphasized passages.
The font appears designed as a traditional high-contrast italic serif meant to deliver graceful emphasis and elevated typography, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphic character.
The design favors crisp diagonals and slender horizontals, giving an airy texture and a sparkling page color in longer lines. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, formal voice.
