A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are fine and tapered, with subtle flaring where strokes terminate, giving the letters a carved, ink-on-paper feel rather than blunt slab endings. Proportions run compact with a lively, right-leaning rhythm; curves are narrow and clean, and joins stay sharp, especially in diagonals and bowls. Numerals and capitals maintain the same disciplined contrast and slanted stance, producing an even, polished texture in text while remaining distinctly display-leaning.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, standfirsts, captions, and pull quotes. It can also serve in book interiors for secondary styling (italics, epigraphs) and in upscale branding contexts such as fashion, beauty, and event materials where a refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its high-formality italic voice feels poised and expressive, suggesting tradition, taste, and a quiet sense of luxury without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading texture with heightened contrast and tapered, subtly flared endings, balancing sophistication with clarity. It prioritizes graceful movement and a polished page rhythm, offering a traditional serif italic character that feels appropriate for curated, high-end typographic settings.
In running text the spacing reads tight and energetic, with prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical movement. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the tapered terminals help keep the color light while preserving definition in smaller counters.
