A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals that often flare subtly at the ends of strokes. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic rhythm: diagonals and curves are smooth and tensioned, with narrow joins and crisp apexes, while serifs read as fine wedges rather than heavy slabs. Capitals are poised and slightly expansive, with elegant curves in C, G, and S and a sweeping Q tail; lowercase features a single-storey a and g, long ascenders, and compact counters that stay open despite the fine hairlines. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender diagonals and rounded bowls, maintaining a consistent, high-end editorial texture in text settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, cultural publications, and book-jacket titling, where an elegant italic can carry both voice and hierarchy. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding moments that benefit from a graceful, calligraphic serif texture.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, blending classical bookish sophistication with a contemporary editorial gloss. Its energetic slant and crisp detailing lend a sense of movement and confidence, while the restrained weight keeps the voice airy and upscale.
The design appears intended as a refined italic with a calligraphic backbone—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement while retaining enough structure for readable text and strong typographic hierarchy.
In paragraphs, the strong diagonal stress and high-contrast detailing create a sparkling texture that favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing. Sharp terminals and fine hairlines become a defining feature, giving the face a distinctly “dressy” presence in display and short-form reading.
