A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline finishing. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic pen influence rather than rigid construction. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with a lively rhythm; curves are smooth and open, and diagonals are slender and crisp. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a long, slender f with a high ascender, and generally compact counters that stay clear due to the light weight.
Best suited to display and short-form reading contexts where high contrast and italics can shine—magazine features, fashion and beauty branding, cultural programs, book covers, and invitations. In continuous small text, it benefits from generous size and leading to protect the hairlines and preserve clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and cultured, with a refined, editorial feel. Its airy hairlines and flowing italic movement give it a graceful, slightly dramatic presence suited to sophisticated, formal settings.
The design appears intended as a graceful, high-contrast italic companion for refined typography, balancing classical serif structure with calligraphic motion for expressive, upscale communication.
Capitals lean with restrained flourish, pairing sharp hairline joins with fuller main strokes for a polished, high-contrast silhouette. Figures appear italic and lining, with similarly fine terminals that keep them visually consistent with the text style.
