A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and long, tapering hairlines. The letters show a rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphy-informed rhythm, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and finely pointed terminals. Curves are clean and open, counters are generous, and the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with lively ascenders and descenders that add vertical grace. Spacing and stroke modulation create a flowing texture that reads airy at display sizes.
Well-suited for magazine and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, headlines, and display text. It can also serve refined branding applications such as fashion, beauty, and premium packaging, as well as formal invitations and announcements where delicate, high-contrast italics communicate sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its lightness and sharp detailing convey sophistication and restraint, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography rather than utilitarian text setting. The italic movement adds a sense of motion and formality suited to refined branding and ceremonial or poetic contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for editorial and display use, emphasizing graceful movement, sharp hairlines, and traditional serif construction. Its proportions and modulation aim to deliver an elevated, cultured tone while remaining familiar and readable in carefully set sizes.
In the samples, the thinnest strokes are extremely fine, giving the face a crisp, high-end look that benefits from adequate size and quality output. The figures follow the same elegant contrast and slanted posture, integrating smoothly with the alphabet. Letterforms favor traditional proportions and understated personality over eccentric quirks.
