A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, continuous cursive slant. Serifs are sharp and tapered, with wedge-like terminals that give strokes a clean, chiseled finish. Bowls and curves are generously rounded, while joins stay crisp; the overall rhythm is lively and slightly formal, with narrow internal spacing and careful contrast that stays controlled rather than flashy.
It performs best in editorial settings where a refined italic voice is needed: magazine features, book or essay titling, pull quotes, and cultured brand applications. It also suits invitations and formal announcements where high-contrast italics can add elegance without resorting to script.
The font reads as polished and cultured, with the poise of editorial typography and the sophistication of luxury branding. Its italic motion adds a sense of momentum and intimacy, while the fine finishing details keep the tone quiet, premium, and traditional rather than playful.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic that feels contemporary in its sharpness and clarity while retaining traditional serif proportions. It aims to deliver an expressive italic texture for display and short-to-medium text, emphasizing graceful motion and crisp finishing.
In the sample text, word shapes form a smooth horizontal flow with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look suited to running text; the overall color on the page is light and bright, with thin hairlines that benefit from comfortable sizing and print-friendly conditions.
