A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. The forms show vertical stress with fine hairlines, crisp tapered serifs, and smooth, calligraphic joins. Proportions feel open and slightly narrow in the curves, while spacing remains even and light, creating a quiet, high-end rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals keep the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and graceful terminals that avoid heaviness.
Best suited to editorial layouts, book or magazine styling, and other contexts where a refined italic voice is desired. It performs especially well for display sizes—titles, pull quotes, and elegant branding—where the hairline details and contrast can remain clear. For longer text, it works as an accent face (emphasis, captions, or short passages) in thoughtfully printed or high-resolution settings.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial styling. Its lightness and sharp contrast convey refinement and restraint rather than sturdiness, lending a sophisticated, slightly romantic presence to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, balancing traditional serif construction with a light, modern delicacy. Its consistent slant, sharp hairlines, and controlled curves suggest an emphasis on elegance and editorial credibility over rugged utility.
Italic structure is evident throughout, with flowing entry/exit strokes and gently hooked terminals in several lowercase forms. Curves are clean and controlled, and the thin strokes are prominent enough to define the character without adding visual noise, producing a polished, airy texture at larger sizes.
