A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced slant and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Hairline horizontals and entry strokes contrast with slightly fuller diagonals and curves, giving the letterforms an airy, sparkling texture. Serifs are fine and tapered, with smooth joins and gently swelling curves; terminals often finish in pointed, pen-like endings. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, and the forms stay disciplined and consistent from capitals through numerals, maintaining a polished, bookish color in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes, especially at medium and larger text sizes. It also works effectively for formal invitations, cultural branding, and refined packaging where a light, elegant serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking editorial tradition and formal correspondence. Its lightness and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than display theatrics.
Likely designed to provide a graceful, traditional italic companion for text setting, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and smooth reading rhythm while adding a distinctly formal, literary character.
Capitals are stately and open, with an especially graceful italic construction in letters like J, Q, and R. Lowercase features a classic italic structure with single-storey a and g and a lively, slightly cursive flow, while numerals keep the same refined contrast and slanted stance for harmonious setting in running text.
