A delicate italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The letterforms are compact and slightly tall, with a consistent rightward slant and crisp, hairline serifs that feel finely bracketed rather than blocky. Curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals often taper to sharp points, giving the text a precise, engraved quality. In running text the rhythm is lively yet even, with clear differentiation between forms and an overall light, polished color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and essays where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It can also support formal invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical feel, particularly at moderate to larger sizes where its fine details remain clear.
The font conveys a cultivated, literary tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its airy contrast and graceful italic movement suggest tradition, poise, and a slightly dramatic sophistication suited to classic editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion for text typography, prioritizing elegance and a crisp, high-end finish. Its narrow, finely serifed construction and consistent modulation suggest a focus on sophisticated readability and a distinctly formal typographic voice.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic motion, especially in rounded letters and the descending forms. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin joins and elegant curves that match the text style.
