A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant, tapered entry and exit strokes, and finely bracketed serifs that resolve into sharp points on many capitals. Curves are drawn with a smooth, continuous rhythm and relatively narrow apertures, while verticals remain clean and controlled. Lowercase forms are compact with modest extenders and a single-storey ‘g’ featuring a rounded bowl and small ear; numerals follow the same elegant, calligraphic stress and thin finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or headlines. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitations when used at moderate to large sizes to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a quiet luxury rather than overt flamboyance. Its refined contrast and poised italic movement suggest tradition, careful craft, and a slightly formal voice suited to cultured, literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with strong calligraphic cues and a premium, print-oriented feel. Its emphasis on hairline finesse and smooth, flowing forms suggests use in sophisticated composition where elegance and hierarchy are priorities.
Capital proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, with long, fine serifs that add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic construction reads more as a true italic than a simple slant, with noticeably cursive shaping in letters like ‘a’, ‘f’, ‘g’, and ‘y’, and a graceful, sweeping ‘Q’ tail.
