This typeface is a delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, hairline serifs. Stems and diagonals show a calligraphic slant with smooth, bracketed transitions into the serifs, and many joins end in sharp points or subtle teardrop terminals. The proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are open and slightly narrow, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, long extenders, and a gently flowing rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender entries and curved strokes that keep the overall color light on the page.
It is well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and literary book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic atmosphere. The refined contrast and graceful motion also make it a strong choice for invitations, title pages, pull quotes, and upscale branding when used at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than overt display. Its lightness and crisp contrast give it a polished, formal voice, while the italic movement adds a sense of narrative flow and understated drama.
The design appears intended to provide a classical, readable italic with a premium finish—combining traditional serif construction with a light, high-contrast palette to deliver elegance and fluidity in continuous reading and display accents.
Letterforms show a consistent rightward momentum and careful curve control, with distinctive italic details such as a single-storey “a” and a looped “g.” The design keeps counters generous and maintains clarity despite the fine hairlines, producing an airy texture at text sizes while still feeling precise.
