This typeface is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. Letterforms are built on a calligraphic, slanted axis, with long, tapered entry and exit strokes and sharp, precise terminals that often read as fine wedges rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and open, and the overall rhythm is light and continuous, with generous internal space and a slightly elongated feel in both capitals and ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted construction, keeping a consistent, graceful texture in running text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where refinement is the goal: magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and chapter titles, luxury branding, and formal stationery. It can work in body copy when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the hairline detail, and it pairs naturally with a sturdier roman companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, leaning toward editorial luxury and cultured classicism. Its airy contrast and flowing italic movement suggest formality and elegance, with a subtle romantic, literary character rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with high-end, contemporary editorial finesse—prioritizing graceful movement, strong contrast, and crisp finishing details for elegant typography.
Capitals show restrained flourish—enough to feel expressive without becoming ornate—while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable cadence despite the very fine hairlines. The ampersand and swash-like stroke endings add a hint of bespoke polish that becomes especially noticeable at display sizes.
