A slender italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and a restrained, pen-influenced modulation. The design favors long, tapered terminals, sharp joins, and slightly triangular entry/exit strokes that give forms a crisp, chiseled look. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, with narrow bowls and a tight overall set that produces a lively diagonal rhythm. Uppercase proportions are tall and streamlined, while lowercase maintains clear, open structures with minimal ornament and clean, consistent curves.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine terminals and flared details can be appreciated—editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for short text passages in print or high-resolution settings when generous spacing and careful color are desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing classic bookish cues with a contemporary, fashion-leaning sharpness. Its quick italic slant and thin, tapered details read as sophisticated and expressive rather than casual, suggesting discretion and premium finish.
The font appears designed to deliver a sophisticated italic voice that feels both classical and modern, using flare-ended serifs and tapered strokes to create momentum and finesse. Its narrow, high-rhythm silhouettes suggest an emphasis on elegance and economy of space while maintaining a distinctly typographic, editorial presence.
Several letters show distinctive flare at stroke ends rather than heavy bracketed serifs, reinforcing a carved or written feel. Numerals follow the same slim, elegant construction and sit comfortably alongside the text, with a slightly old-style grace in their curves and terminals.
