A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline joins. The strokes are smoothly tapered with crisp terminals, and the serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, giving the forms a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are fairly narrow with generous sidebearings, producing an airy rhythm in text. The italic construction shows a consistent rightward slant and flowing entry/exit strokes, while counters remain open and neatly controlled across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book or chapter titles where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits premium branding and packaging, formal invitations, and short to medium-length passages where visual finesse matters more than rugged small-size durability.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial and high-end branding sensibilities. Its lightness and sharp detailing convey refinement and formality, while the italic cadence adds a graceful, literary warmth.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for refined typography, prioritizing graceful movement, sharp detail, and an elevated page color. Its consistent slant and delicate finishing suggest a focus on sophisticated display and editorial use rather than utilitarian text at very small sizes.
In the sample text the spacing and slant create a smooth forward movement, but the fine hairlines and tight joins suggest it will look best when given adequate size or print-quality rendering. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled style, integrating cleanly with text settings.
