A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into sharp, flared terminals and fine hairlines, producing an airy texture and a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are small and crisp with subtle bracketing, and curves are smooth and elongated, giving capitals a sculpted, slightly formal presence while lowercase forms read fluid and pen-like. Numerals share the same refinement, with slender profiles and graceful curves that keep the overall color light on the page.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text settings where its contrast and tapered detailing can be appreciated—such as book covers, magazine features, pull quotes, cultural branding, and formal invitations. It can also work as an accent italic paired with a sturdier roman for hierarchy in editorial layouts.
The tone is poised and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and classical book typography. Its lightness and flowing italics feel expressive without becoming ornamental, suggesting elegance, intimacy, and a traditional literary sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, calligraphy-informed italic voice with crisp serifs and flared terminals, prioritizing elegance and rhythmic movement over blunt robustness. Its forms aim to provide a sophisticated emphasis style for titles and featured text, while maintaining a cohesive, classical typographic feel.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the contrast-driven shapes create a shimmering texture at larger sizes. The fine hairlines and pointed terminals emphasize precision and polish, while the flared stroke endings add a subtle, crafted character rather than a purely mechanical look.
