A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, hairline finish. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that keep the forms clean despite the high contrast. The capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows a calligraphic slant with flowing joins and a rhythmic, slightly springy baseline. Numerals are similarly slender and elegant, with curved strokes and refined endings that match the text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and refined longform pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal applications like invitations, packaging, and premium branding, especially for headlines or larger display sizes where the hairline details can remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and literary, evoking editorial polish and classic book typography. Its lightness and contrast read as sophisticated and formal, with a graceful, cultured warmth rather than a mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a distinctly refined texture—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and graceful movement in continuous reading and display settings.
In text, the italic angle is prominent and continuous, creating forward motion and a refined cadence. The combination of airy counters and razor-thin details produces a luminous page color, but the finest strokes will visually recede at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
