This is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, and many terminals taper to sharp points, creating a crisp, luminous texture. The italic construction is distinctly calligraphic: stems lean with a smooth, continuous flow, joins are clean, and curves are drawn with controlled tension. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in places, with generous sidebearings that keep the overall rhythm airy despite the contrast.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits premium packaging, beauty and fashion materials, and formal stationery. For extended reading, it will perform most comfortably when set with ample size and leading to preserve its fine details.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a quiet formality that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. Its fine strokes and poised slant suggest sophistication and restraint rather than robustness, giving text a graceful, literary cadence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic italic—prioritizing grace, contrast, and a cultivated page color for sophisticated typography. It emphasizes expressive, calligraphic movement while keeping letterforms disciplined enough for conventional editorial use.
Uppercase forms show sweeping italic gestures (notably in C, G, Q, and S), while lowercase letters maintain a consistent cursive logic with slender ascenders and compact bowls. Numerals appear similarly refined, with elegant curves and light finishing details, supporting use in typographic settings where nuance matters.
