A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic, diagonal stress, with narrow joins, tapered entry/exit strokes, and subtly bracketed serifs that read as sharp rather than heavy. The rhythm is lively and slightly compact, with relatively tall ascenders/descenders and open internal counters that help the light weight stay legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast and slanted stance, giving the overall texture a polished, airy color on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined headings. It can also serve premium branding, invitations, and formal stationery, especially where a light, high-contrast impression is desirable.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—romantic but controlled—suggesting editorial sophistication and classic bookish elegance. Its high-contrast italics feel ceremonial and expressive without becoming decorative or playful.
Designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion with a graceful, literary feel—optimized for expressive emphasis and upscale display use while maintaining conventional serif proportions.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and many forms rely on fine hairlines, making the texture sensitive to size and reproduction method. Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, and spacing appears even, producing a clean, flowing line in longer phrases.
