A delicate italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and very thin hairlines set against sharper, thicker stems. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give many forms a gently calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay clear, and spacing feels measured and even, producing a light, flowing rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Figures follow the same slender, high-contrast construction, reading as graceful rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book titles, pull quotes, and refined brand applications where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and works well for short to medium text lengths where its high-contrast hairlines can remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward editorial sophistication and classical polish. Its italic motion adds a sense of ceremony and forward movement, while the hairline detailing conveys delicacy and restraint.
Designed to provide a polished, classical italic for reading and display, combining traditional serif structure with a light, fashion-oriented finesse. The intention appears to balance elegance and legibility through controlled proportions, clean counters, and restrained calligraphic cues.
Capital forms show a quiet grandeur with long, sweeping diagonals and subtle terminal flicks, while the lowercase emphasizes continuity and glide in text. The ampersand and round letters add a touch of flourish without becoming overtly decorative, keeping the voice firmly in refined text-serifs territory.
