A delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm, with long ascenders/descenders and a noticeably high waist on capitals that keeps counters open and elegant. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and the overall texture is light and spacious, with slender diagonals and carefully controlled curves. Numerals follow the same refined, thin-stroke construction, maintaining a consistent, quiet presence alongside text.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial moments where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, packaging, and premium branding where delicacy and refinement are assets, and works effectively for book or chapter titling when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The tone is elegant and understated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than everyday utilitarianism. Its airy italics and knife-thin details suggest luxury, romance, and a formal literary or fashion sensibility, with a distinctly classical, old-world polish.
The design appears intended to provide a refined italic companion for classic typography, emphasizing calligraphic motion, sharp finishing details, and a light, high-end color on the page. It prioritizes elegance and display-like sophistication while remaining grounded in conventional serif structure.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as intentionally expressive, while the restrained contrast and thin joins keep the forms from feeling overly ornate. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and subtle stroke modulation become a key part of the character; in denser settings the light color will appear especially soft and graceful.
