A very slender italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that emphasize the pen-like movement. Capitals are tall and poised with ample internal space, while the lowercase shows a gentle rightward slant and smooth joins, producing an even, airy texture in text. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-contrast construction with thin hairlines and lightly cupped curves.
Well-suited for editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is desired—magazine features, pull quotes, and refined book or chapter titling. It also fits formal stationery and premium branding where a light, high-contrast serif can signal luxury. For longer passages, it will read best when given comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward a fashionable, high-end feel rather than utilitarian text. Its light touch and sweeping italics suggest sophistication and restraint, with a hint of romantic flourish.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, balancing traditional serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic flow. Its emphasis on hairlines, tapered terminals, and graceful curves prioritizes elegance and tone-setting over rugged, small-size robustness.
Several forms feature extended entry/exit strokes and subtly swashed curves (notably in letters like Q, f, and some lowercase bowls), which adds expressiveness but also increases the sense of delicacy. The light hairlines and open spacing make it visually graceful, especially at larger sizes.
