A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letters show a calligraphic, right-leaning construction with tapered terminals, fine entry strokes, and smooth bracketed joins on heavier stems. Round forms exhibit diagonal stress, and counters remain fairly open despite the thin hairlines. Overall spacing feels measured and text-like, while the italic rhythm produces a flowing, slightly dramatic texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine features, and book or journal titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging accents, especially at display sizes or for emphasized passages within text.
The font conveys a refined, cultivated tone—polished and poised rather than rustic or casual. Its crisp contrast and graceful italic movement suggest editorial sophistication and a touch of luxury, suited to expressive, high-end typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast for expressive emphasis, providing a classical, print-inspired voice that remains readable while adding sophistication and motion to the line.
Capitals are relatively narrow and sculpted, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with delicate joins and fine finishing strokes that look best when given enough size and print-like resolution.
