A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm. Stems swell into broad diagonals and bowls, then taper quickly into hairline connections, with sharp, needle-like terminals and fine bracketed serifs. Capitals feel generous and open, while lowercase forms show a smooth, flowing cursive construction with long extenders and crisp joins; overall spacing reads airy and sculpted, favoring graceful curves over rigid geometry.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work well for luxury branding, packaging, and invitations when set with generous size and careful spacing to preserve its fine detailing.
The tone is polished and aspirational, evoking editorial fashion and high-end cultural publishing. Its sweeping italics and razor-fine details create a sense of sophistication and drama, while the classic serif vocabulary keeps it grounded and traditional.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic expression for sophisticated display and editorial settings, prioritizing grace, movement, and typographic refinement over utilitarian ruggedness.
The design relies on fine details—thin entry/exit strokes, slender cross-strokes, and small serifs—so it visually rewards larger sizes where the contrast and terminals can remain clear. The numerals follow the same refined, calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and tapered strokes that match the text color.
