A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous cursive rhythm rather than sharp angular construction, and the strokes taper into fine serifs and finishing flicks. Counters are relatively open and the proportions feel moderately narrow and vertical in the caps, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and elongated extenders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender curves and light finishing strokes that keep the overall texture airy.
Well suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a formal, elevated tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting sophistication and restraint. Its light color and graceful italics read as polished and cultured, with an editorial sensibility rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that prioritizes elegance and readability through a disciplined italic rhythm, traditional serif detailing, and high-contrast stroke modulation. It aims to provide a refined companion style for sophisticated typographic systems.
At larger sizes the fine serifs, thin cross-strokes, and tapered terminals become a key part of the character, creating a crisp, engraved-like sparkle on the page. In continuous text, the strong contrast and slim hairlines produce a bright, elegant texture that benefits from generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
