This serif italic shows a high-contrast, hairline-and-stem construction with finely tapered serifs and a smooth, pen-like modulation. The italic slant is consistent and moderately steep, with rounded bowls and softly pointed terminals that keep counters open despite the delicate strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase is more lively, with flowing joins, a looping two-storey g, and a long, gently descending q. Numerals follow the same thin-thick rhythm, with narrow figures and elegant curves that read best at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book or journal titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes, particularly in larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, projecting a sense of editorial polish and classical sophistication. Its light, high-contrast rhythm adds a luxurious, fashion-forward feel while still reading as traditional and bookish rather than experimental.
The font appears designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated text and display settings, prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and a polished printed look. Its proportions and detailing suggest an emphasis on refined emphasis and headline use rather than rugged, small-size utility.
The design emphasizes graceful curves and fine details, so stroke fragility and sharp hairlines become prominent as size decreases. The italic construction favors a continuous, calligraphic line, creating a smooth texture in words and strong emphasis in mixed roman/italic settings.
