A delicate italic serif with slim stems, moderate stroke modulation, and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The italic angle is consistent and fairly pronounced, giving the design a continuous forward flow while keeping letterforms crisp. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the capitals, with generous curves and pointed terminals that add sparkle in larger sizes. Lowercase forms are lively and pen-like, with smooth entry/exit strokes, a single-storey italic structure where expected, and a generally open, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same slanted, graceful construction and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text.
Well suited to book and editorial settings for emphasis, quotations, and refined typographic color, and it can also serve as a primary voice for elegant short-form copy. It works especially well for invitations, cultural branding, and titling where a graceful italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking editorial refinement and classical book typography. Its lightness and flowing italic energy suggest sophistication and a slightly romantic, old-world sensibility without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic slant and restrained detailing, balancing classic proportions with a light, polished finish for sophisticated reading and display moments.
In the sample text, spacing reads even and measured, with a gently undulating texture typical of text italics. The thins are notably fine, which emphasizes elegance and makes the face feel most confident when given adequate size, contrast, or printing quality.
