A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm: stems stay slim, curves swell subtly, and entry/exit strokes taper to fine points. Capitals are stately and open, with restrained, bracketed serifs and ample internal space, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and extended ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast, keeping an overall light, airy texture on the page.
Best suited for editorial typography, magazine features, and refined display lines where its high contrast and slanted rhythm can be appreciated. It can also support elegant invitations, luxury branding, and chapter openings, especially at larger sizes where the hairline details stay clean and intentional.
The font conveys sophistication and composure, pairing a classic bookish sensibility with a fashionable, editorial sheen. Its sharp terminals and graceful slant read as polished and cultivated, suited to settings where nuance and tone matter as much as legibility.
The design appears intended as a classic, fashion-leaning italic serif that delivers a light, high-contrast voice for sophisticated reading and display. It prioritizes graceful rhythm and sharp finishing details to project refinement and formality.
Spacing appears generous, helping the thin hairlines remain distinct and preventing the high-contrast strokes from feeling brittle in text. The italic construction is consistent across cases, producing a continuous diagonal flow that emphasizes movement and elegance in longer passages.
