A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a bright, airy texture. Letterforms are compact and tall with a noticeably small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and understated, often finishing as wedges or flicks, while curves stay smooth and controlled with a slightly calligraphic stress. Spacing reads measured and even in text, with a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book titling where a refined, high-contrast italic voice is desired. It can also support premium branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at display sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, balancing classical bookishness with a polished, fashion-forward sheen. Its thin strokes and crisp contrast convey restraint and sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast profile—prioritizing graceful rhythm and sophisticated detail for refined reading and display contexts.
Capitals feel restrained and formal, while the lowercase introduces more expressive entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like finishing, giving text a gently animated flow. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian.
