A slender serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, finely finished stroke. The forms lean smoothly with long, tapering entry and exit strokes, and sharp, hairline serifs that read as lightly bracketed in places. Counters are open and oval, with a flowing rhythm and careful spacing that keeps the texture even despite the narrow proportions. Capitals show restrained grandeur with sweeping diagonals and pointed terminals, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive impulse with clean joins and minimal interruption.
Well suited to magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and refined headline settings where contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking editorial sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its delicate contrast and forward slant give it a lively, romantic cadence without becoming ornate, balancing classic bookishness with modern polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, high-fashion italic voice for serif typography, prioritizing elegance, fluidity, and sharp contrast. It aims to provide a polished, classical texture that reads as premium and expressive in both short headlines and carefully set editorial text.
Figures are similarly elegant, with thin hairlines and smooth curves that suit display sizes; the “1” is especially calligraphic, and round forms like “0”, “8”, and “9” emphasize the high-contrast stress. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, continuous flow in text.
