A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered hairlines. The letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively rightward slant and crisp bracketed serifs that feel cut rather than blunt. Curves are smoothly drawn and teardrop-like terminals appear in several lowercase forms, while capitals keep a formal, sculpted silhouette with sharp joins and carefully controlled counters. Numerals follow the same calligraphic rhythm, with graceful curves and fine entry/exit strokes that maintain a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support book typography for emphasis and chapter titling, and works well in formal stationery or invitation-style applications when set with comfortable sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial and fashion sensibilities. Its flowing italic movement reads as cultured and expressive without becoming ornate, giving it a confident, literary elegance.
The font appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated text settings, prioritizing graceful motion, sharp detail, and a polished page rhythm. Its condensed proportions and calligraphic terminals suggest a design goal of delivering elegance and emphasis with minimal ornament.
The design’s contrast and thin serifs favor clean reproduction and measured spacing, producing a bright, airy color at display sizes. The italic is clearly integral to the design (not merely obliqued), with consistent stroke logic and a continuous, handwritten-like cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
