A delicate italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. The strokes show clear modulation, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller diagonals, and small bracketed serifs that stay sharp rather than chunky. Uppercase forms feel classical and open, with generous interior space and restrained ornament; the lowercase is more cursive-leaning, using flowing joins and angled entry/exit strokes that create an even forward rhythm. Numerals are similarly slanted and light, with smooth curves and fine finishing details that match the text face.
Well-suited for book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits refined printed materials such as invitations, programs, and literary or cultural branding, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting formality without stiffness. Its light color and fluid italic movement read as cultured and expressive, suited to text that benefits from a touch of ceremony or emphasis.
The font appears designed to provide a graceful, traditional italic companion for text settings, balancing calligraphic movement with typographic discipline. Its intent seems to be an elegant reading rhythm and a polished, classical presence rather than bold display impact.
Across the alphabet the design maintains consistent stroke logic and spacing, producing an even line despite the thin hairlines. Curved letters and diagonals keep a smooth, continuous motion, while the serifs and terminals add a precise, engraved finish that keeps the face from feeling purely handwritten.
