A very delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered hairlines. The forms are strongly right-leaning and drawn with a calligraphic logic: entry/exit strokes are sharp, terminals often finish in fine points, and serifs appear as minimal, knife-like flicks rather than bracketed slabs. Proportions are slender with tall capitals, and the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with narrow bowls and generous ascender/descender reach. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast, with slightly expressive curves and occasional flourish (notably in letters like Q, R, and the lowercase g).
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and elegant contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, beauty/luxury branding, and formal stationery. It can also work for short italicized passages in high-quality print contexts, but the delicate detailing suggests avoiding low-resolution or very small text sizes.
The overall tone is graceful and high-end, projecting a boutique editorial feel rather than utilitarian text neutrality. Its airy hairlines and poised slant evoke fashion publishing, formal invitations, and classical literary styling, with a touch of romantic calligraphy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, refined serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic finish—prioritizing sophistication, motion, and a polished editorial voice over ruggedness or everyday readability.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairline joins create a shimmering texture, especially at smaller sizes or tight spacing. The italic construction is assertive and continuous, with smooth stroke flow and a consistent contrast axis that emphasizes verticals while keeping curves light and precise.
