A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline horizontals, set on a steady rightward slant. Letterforms show calligraphic modulation with tapered entry/exit strokes, sharp wedge-like serifs, and smooth, open curves. Capitals are tall and stately with generous sidebearings, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Numerals and punctuation echo the same thin–thick logic, with rounded forms staying light and airy and straights remaining crisp.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, deck lines, titling, and refined subheads. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitations, especially at sizes and printing conditions that maintain the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than utility. Its light touch and sweeping italic movement feel polished, romantic, and fashion-forward, lending a sense of luxury and quiet drama without becoming overtly ornamental.
Designed to provide a refined, high-contrast italic companion for classic serif composition, emphasizing graceful movement, sharp finishing, and generous whitespace. The intent appears focused on conveying sophistication and premium tone in display and editorial settings rather than rugged, small-size readability.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp terminals, so spacing and contrast become key visual features; it reads most confidently where the thin strokes can be preserved. The italic construction is consistent across cases, and the ampersand and curved capitals add a subtly decorative flourish while staying within a classical serif idiom.
