A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The forms lean with a consistent slant and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow, giving letters a quick, gliding rhythm across the line. Serifs are fine and understated rather than bracketed and heavy, and curves are drawn with clean, controlled transitions into stems. Counters are relatively small and the lowercase sits low, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and graceful, emphasizing verticality and finesse.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine features, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can add sophistication to headlines, pull quotes, and short-form display, and it also fits formal materials such as invitations or brand collateral that benefits from a refined, high-contrast serif.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a classic, editorial sensibility. Its light touch and high contrast read as poised and sophisticated, suggesting luxury, culture, and careful curation rather than ruggedness or utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful italic companion for classic serif typography, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a calligraphic rhythm. It emphasizes a cultivated, premium feel while keeping forms conventional enough to remain familiar in editorial contexts.
In text, the italic structure and thin hairlines create an airy texture with noticeable sparkle, especially around diagonals and curved joins. Figures appear similarly slanted and refined, matching the letterforms’ elegant contrast and maintaining a cohesive, flowing color.
