A delicate italic serif with tall proportions and a noticeably high waistline in the capitals, giving the design a sleek vertical rhythm. Strokes are fine and clean with moderated thick–thin modeling, and terminals often resolve into sharp, tapered wedges rather than heavy bracketed feet. The italic construction is lively and consistently slanted, with narrow, slightly elongated bowls and compact apertures that keep texture even in longer text. Numerals follow the same refined logic, staying slim and gently calligraphic in feel.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis or display. It also works for invitations and formal announcements that benefit from a light, polished serif with a graceful slant. In headlines and subheads, the tall, slender proportions deliver an upscale feel without appearing ornate.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with an understated sophistication that reads as classical rather than ornamental. Its lightness and fluent italic movement create an airy, cultured impression suited to elegant editorial typography.
Likely intended as a modern, text-oriented italic that prioritizes elegance and economy of space while retaining classical serif cues. The design emphasizes a controlled calligraphic motion and a consistent, refined texture for sustained reading and tasteful emphasis.
The design’s narrow footprint and crisp joins produce a tight, economical line while still maintaining a graceful cadence. Uppercase forms feel formal and stately, while the lowercase italic provides a smooth, continuous flow in text settings.
