A delicate italic serif with pronounced contrast between thin hairlines and fuller diagonals, creating a crisp, shimmering texture. The forms are built on a consistent slanted axis with tapered terminals and small, bracketed serifs that feel sharp yet controlled. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows lively stroke modulation, compact joins, and a fluid rhythm; counters stay open and the overall color remains light on the page. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender curves and fine entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined magazine settings where an italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging when used at display sizes or with comfortable spacing to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a poised, literary elegance—formal without feeling rigid. Its calligraphic slant and fine detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, lending a cultured, editorial tone suited to expressive typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic with a formal serif structure and a distinctly calligraphic cadence—useful as an expressive text companion and as a graceful display italic for titles and emphasis.
In running text, the combination of strong contrast and fine hairlines produces an airy page color with noticeable sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic construction feels continuous across uppercase and lowercase, giving headlines and short phrases a cohesive, curated look.
