A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, hairline serifs. The forms are drawn with a calligraphic, pen-like logic: entry and exit strokes sharpen to points, and curves resolve into crisp terminals rather than blunt endings. Capitals feel tall and poised with ample internal whitespace, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with narrow, flowing bowls and a consistent rightward slant. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with open counters and graceful curves that match the text texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and literary or cultural materials where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations, particularly at sizes where its hairlines and delicate serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting traditional book typography and refined print craftsmanship. Its sharp hairlines and graceful slant convey sophistication and a slightly formal, romantic character rather than a utilitarian or casual voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic text experience—prioritizing grace, readability, and traditional serif manners while keeping the overall texture light and refined.
In continuous text the face produces a bright, airy color due to the fine hairlines and the high-contrast strokes, with lively diagonal movement from the italic angle. The design reads as deliberate and controlled, emphasizing clean joins and smooth curves over quirky detailing.
