This serif italic presents slender, high‑contrast strokes with sharp, tapered terminals and finely cut serifs. Letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing pronounced thick–thin transitions on curves and diagonals. Proportions are relatively compact with controlled apertures and a measured, text-oriented x-height. The numerals and capitals maintain the same polished, pen-informed modulation, producing a consistent, graceful texture in continuous setting.
Well suited for editorial typography, book and long-form italics, pull quotes, and refined headings where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits premium packaging, invitations, and brand systems that benefit from a classic, high-fashion serif tone.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, with a fashion‑magazine elegance and a literary, old‑world refinement. Its light touch and crisp detailing give it a sense of sophistication and restraint rather than friendliness or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, traditional italic companion with pronounced contrast and carefully sharpened details, prioritizing a refined reading texture and an upscale, editorial presence.
In the sample text, the italic construction creates a flowing baseline rhythm, while the fine hairlines and small details stay crisp at display sizes. Curved letters show gentle swelling into stems, and many terminals finish with subtle teardrop-like shaping that reinforces a drawn-with-a-pen impression.
