A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, with a forward-leaning stance and a lively, diagonal rhythm across words. Serifs read as fine wedges and hairlines rather than blunt brackets, giving joins and entry strokes a crisp, engraved feel. The lowercase shows fluid, calligraphic construction with narrow counters and gently swelling strokes, while capitals maintain a poised, formal silhouette with high-contrast diagonals and clean, pointed finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also work for invitations, branding accents, and pull quotes, especially when used at moderate to larger sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and high contrast convey luxury and formality, with a graceful, slightly dramatic texture in continuous text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for elegant composition, emphasizing grace, motion, and sharp finishing details. It prioritizes sophistication and typographic flair over ruggedness, aiming for a polished text-and-display presence.
In running copy, spacing and slant create a continuous cursive flow, with especially energetic diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit elegantly alongside text rather than dominate it.
