A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, right-leaning flow with tapered entry and exit strokes, narrow joins, and smooth, continuous curves. Uppercase proportions feel tall and poised with crisp terminals, while the lowercase is more fluid and slightly more compact, keeping counters open and strokes clean. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a polished, dressy texture in setting.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, book jackets, and refined branding where an italic serif can provide a sense of luxury. It also works nicely for invitations, pull quotes, and short passages set at comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, leaning toward a sophisticated, fashion-and-literature sensibility. Its glossy contrast and graceful slant suggest tradition and polish rather than ruggedness, giving text a gently dramatic, upscale voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for elegant typography, emphasizing grace, sheen, and a traditional literary feel. It prioritizes visual sophistication and a lively italic texture over utilitarian robustness at very small sizes.
In longer lines the rhythm reads airy and sparkling due to the very thin hairlines and pointed serifs, which also makes the design feel more at home at display sizes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with many characters showing subtly calligraphic terminals that reinforce a handwritten elegance without becoming script-like.
