A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly pen-driven construction: diagonals are lively, curves are smooth and airy, and terminals often finish in fine points or subtle flicks. Capitals are relatively open and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more movement through angled joins, gently cupped serifs, and a two-storey ‘g’ with a graceful loop. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin connecting strokes and elegant curves that read best at comfortable text sizes.
Well suited for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, essays, and literary publishing—especially where an italic voice is used for emphasis or tone. It also fits invitations, cultural programs, and refined branding lines where elegance and nuance matter more than dense information setting.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than utility. Its light touch and animated italic rhythm give it a cultured, expressive feel—more suited to nuanced voice and atmosphere than blunt emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic with classical serif cues and a distinctly calligraphic sparkle. It aims for elegance and readability through open counters and careful spacing, while preserving expressive strokes and graceful terminals for a polished, premium impression.
Rhythm is even but intentionally spirited, with noticeable rightward momentum and occasional swash-like curvature in letters such as ‘Q’, ‘y’, and ‘z’. The spacing appears generous, helping the high-contrast strokes stay clear in running text and giving the page an airy, upscale color.
