A very thin, italic serif with gently modulated, mostly monoline strokes and small, delicate serifs that read as lightly bracketed or subtly flared rather than heavy terminals. Curves are generous and open, with a smooth, flowing rhythm and a consistent rightward slant. Many forms show calligraphic touches—looped descenders in the lowercase, soft entry/exit strokes, and a rounded, elegant construction in bowls and counters. Figures are similarly slender and lightly stylized, keeping the same refined, continuous stroke behavior as the letters.
Best suited to editorial settings and display-to-subhead sizes where its hairline strokes and italic energy can remain crisp and expressive. It works well for book and magazine typography, refined branding, invitations, and other premium applications that benefit from a delicate, cultured voice rather than robust small-size readability.
The overall tone is quiet and cultured, with an airy sophistication that feels poetic and editorial. Its lightness and italic motion add a sense of tactility and elegance, leaning more toward expressive refinement than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classic italic serif: light, fluent, and decorative without becoming ornate. Its consistent hairline rhythm and gently flared detailing suggest a focus on sophistication and graceful movement in text and display settings.
The italic structure is pronounced in both uppercase and lowercase, and the design favors smooth continuity over sharp joins. The uppercase maintains a restrained presence despite the hairline weight, while the lowercase carries much of the personality through flowing terminals and distinctive looped forms, producing a graceful texture in continuous text.
