A delicate serif with a pronounced rightward slant and hairline-like strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves and lightly tapered stems that broaden subtly into flared terminals, with minimal stroke modulation overall. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders and a noticeably small lowercase body, creating a high vertical rhythm. Serifs and endings feel soft and drawn rather than sharply bracketed, and the spacing reads open and calm despite the condensed set width.
This font suits display and short-text roles where delicacy is an asset: editorial headlines, book or chapter titling, pull quotes, and refined packaging or invitations. It performs especially well in spacious layouts and larger sizes where the thin strokes and small lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and lyrical, suggesting a cultivated, literary sensibility. Its light touch and italic motion give it a quiet sophistication—more intimate and expressive than emphatic.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, calligraphic italic voice within a restrained, contemporary structure—favoring graceful movement, subtle flaring, and a refined silhouette over bold contrast or heavy detailing.
Round characters stay nearly circular with clean, even curvature, while diagonal forms keep a crisp, pen-like snap. Numerals follow the same slender, italicized construction, reading best when given generous size and whitespace.
