A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and sharply defined, gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a smooth, continuous slant and a calligraphic modulation that creates lively diagonal stress, especially in rounded capitals and the lowercase. Curves are clean and slightly drawn-out, with tapered terminals and occasional subtle flicks; counters stay open and readable despite the delicate joins. Spacing feels even and bookish, while the italic rhythm adds forward motion without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form quotations where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for invitations, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a refined serif italic, particularly at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals can shine.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking editorial and literary settings. Its crisp contrast and graceful slant lend a sense of sophistication and formality, with a subtle fashion or luxury feel in display sizes. The texture on the page is light and airy, suggesting refinement rather than robustness.
Likely designed as a conventional, versatile italic with elevated contrast and a classic, calligraphic cadence—intended to provide an elegant emphasis style for text while also functioning confidently as a standalone display italic.
Capitals are notably elegant and spacious, with classical proportions and smooth curves; the italic forms maintain clarity and consistency across the alphabet. Numerals appear similarly slanted and refined, aligning with the text style rather than behaving as purely utilitarian figures.
