A delicate italic serif with a slender build and softly tapered strokes. The design shows moderate thick–thin play and a gently calligraphic rhythm, with compact, bracketed serifs and smooth entry/exit terminals that often finish in subtle teardrop-like forms. Counters are open and oval, curves are carefully drawn, and diagonals feel crisp, giving the letterforms a poised, slightly high-waisted silhouette. Figures follow the same light, angled construction and read as understated rather than display-heavy.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and refined long-form layouts where a graceful italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—especially for short passages, pull quotes, or titling that calls for a classic, understated elegance.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its light touch and continuous italic flow suggest sophistication and restraint, suitable for conveying a formal or cultured voice without feeling ornate.
Likely designed as a conventional, readable italic companion that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition. The intent appears to balance classical serif structure with a gentle calligraphic feel, providing a versatile voice for editorial and formal applications.
In text, the italic angle and delicate hairlines create an airy texture that benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing. The uppercase maintains a stately presence while remaining light, and the lowercase shows a consistent, pen-influenced movement that emphasizes rhythm over boldness.
