A delicate italic serif with long, tapering strokes and fine hairline serifs. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, narrow joins, and smooth, elliptical curves, with a noticeably calligraphic rhythm rather than rigid construction. Terminals are sharp and clean, counters are open, and the overall color on the page is light and sparkling, with careful spacing that keeps the texture even in continuous text. Figures are similarly slender and stylized, echoing the same thin-to-thicker stroke transitions and angled stress.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where a graceful italic voice is desirable. It can also serve in branding, packaging, and invitations for a premium feel, particularly in headlines, short passages, and typographic accents.
The tone is refined and literary, with a poised, editorial elegance. Its airy strokes and crisp finishing details convey sophistication and a sense of quiet luxury without feeling overly ornate.
The font appears designed as an elegant italic text serif that brings calligraphic movement to conventional reading typography. Its intention is to provide a refined, lightweight voice for continuous text and display accents, emphasizing clarity through open forms and disciplined spacing while retaining expressive stroke energy.
The design relies on subtle stroke modulation and pointed terminals for character, so it reads best when given sufficient size or generous leading. The italic forms feel intentionally expressive, producing a flowing line in mixed-case text while maintaining a controlled, modern polish.
