A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm with tapered entry/exit strokes and finely bracketed serifs that stay understated rather than heavy. Uppercase proportions feel elegant and open, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slender stems, smooth bowls, and long, flowing extenders. Overall spacing reads slightly generous, giving the design an airy texture and a crisp, high-end finish in text and display settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines, as well as literary book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and formal printed materials that benefit from a light, high-contrast, polished serif.
The font projects a polished, cultivated tone associated with bookish elegance and contemporary editorial styling. Its light touch and sharp contrast feel formal and sophisticated, with a gentle handwritten influence that adds grace without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic serif with high contrast and controlled, calligraphic motion—aimed at delivering elegance and clarity rather than heavy presence. It prioritizes refinement, smooth reading rhythm, and a premium feel for curated typography.
Curves and joins are drawn with clean, continuous modulation, producing a consistent diagonal movement across words. Numerals appear similarly refined and light, matching the italic momentum and maintaining a cohesive color with the letters at reading sizes.
