A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, showing tapered entry strokes, sharp apexes, and crisp, finely cut serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than slabby. Curves are generous and controlled, counters are open, and spacing feels measured, giving the face a light, shimmering texture on the page. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and subtle terminals that keep the overall color bright.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined brand materials where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can shine in pull quotes, headlines, and short-to-medium passages, and also works for formal stationery or invitations when printed at a size that preserves the hairline detail.
The tone is poised and literary—more salon and editorial than utilitarian. Its high-contrast italics feel expressive yet restrained, suggesting sophistication, formality, and a sense of tradition suited to polished typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic for sophisticated reading and display contexts, prioritizing graceful movement, sharp detailing, and a bright typographic color over rugged small-size robustness.
In continuous text the thin hairlines and narrow joins create a distinctly crisp rhythm, especially in diagonals and curved strokes. The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, producing a consistent forward motion that reads best when given comfortable size and ample leading.
