A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, narrow inner counters, and hairline serifs that often appear as fine wedges or hooked terminals. Curves carry a diagonal stress, and joins are crisp, producing a lively rhythm with plenty of white space. Figures share the same calligraphic contrast and flowing proportions, with notably slender stems and sweeping curves.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and elegant titling for magazines or brand communications. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print settings, especially where a sophisticated italic voice is desired, but it will be most impactful when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic bookish refinement. Its energetic italic movement feels expressive yet controlled, lending a graceful, cultured voice rather than a casual or playful one.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a polished, editorial feel—prioritizing graceful motion, sharp finishing details, and a refined typographic color for premium presentation.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp transitions, so its character is most apparent at display sizes where the contrast and terminals can be appreciated. The italic forms are distinctly calligraphic, with generous swashes on select capitals and a smooth, continuous flow across text.
