A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm and diagonal stress, with gently bracketed serifs and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Proportions are moderately narrow with clear differentiation between capitals and a flowing, readable lowercase; counters remain open, and spacing feels even in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and elegant long-form typography where an italic voice is needed. It can also support refined packaging, invitations, and wordmarks when used at larger sizes with ample spacing to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book and magazine typography. Its light, incisive strokes and sweeping italics convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-end editorial feel.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing calligraphic movement, sharp contrast, and a clean, timeless reading texture.
The capitals feature graceful swash-like curves and restrained contrast, while the lowercase leans into a cursive impulse with smooth joins and teardrop-like terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and sit comfortably with the text, reinforcing a cohesive, classic texture.
