A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a fluid, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in set with generous sidebearings, creating an open, airy texture in paragraphs. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes that emphasize forward motion. Uppercase shapes feel formal and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows lively cursive structure with single-storey forms and expressive ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same italic stress and high-contrast detailing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or refined narrative texture. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging or labels when a graceful, classical impression is desired.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, evoking classical book typography and high-end editorial design. Its movement and sharp detailing give it a sophisticated, slightly dramatic voice that reads as poised rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, literature-forward italic with high refinement—prioritizing rhythm, contrast, and elegant detailing for sophisticated reading and display contexts.
The design’s slender hairlines and crisp joins make it especially striking at display and text sizes where printing/rendering is clean, and the strong diagonal stress creates a continuous, flowing line in longer passages. The italic stance is consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, polished texture.
