A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, and the overall rhythm is smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered entry/exit strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Proportions lean elegant and vertical in the capitals while the lowercase stays compact with a relatively low x-height, giving generous ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, flowing construction, with open counters and slender terminals.
Well-suited for editorial display—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand marks—where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also works for book titling, formal announcements, and invitations, especially in settings that favor elegant, traditional typography over rugged everyday text.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking traditional book typography and high-end editorial styling. Its sweeping italics and sharp hairlines communicate elegance and a touch of drama without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated typography, prioritizing graceful motion, sharp detail, and a polished page color. It aims to deliver a formal, literary feel with enough calligraphic nuance to stand out in display settings.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and tight internal joins read best at larger sizes or in high-quality printing, where the contrast and tapered details remain intact. The italic forms maintain clear letter differentiation, with a coherent, continuous stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
