A delicate italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, often tapering into fine terminals that keep the overall color light and open. Proportions favor narrow, flowing forms with a clear diagonal stress in the rounds, while ascenders are relatively tall and contribute to an airy vertical rhythm. Lowercase shows traditional italic features such as a single-storey a and g, a curved f with a modest crossbar, and a descending q with a sweeping tail; numerals are slender with soft curves and fine terminals.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a light, elegant italic is desired for emphasis, quotes, or secondary text. It can also serve refined titling needs—such as invitations, programs, or cultural materials—where a classical italic voice adds sophistication without heavy contrast.
The face reads as refined and literary, with an understated formality that feels at home in classic publishing. Its lightness and smooth italic motion give it a gentle, cultivated tone rather than a loud or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif that brings a traditional, bookish character through calligraphic modulation and restrained detailing. It prioritizes smooth text rhythm and elegant emphasis over display-driven flourishes.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward movement in text. Rounded letters (c, e, o) maintain generous counters, and terminals frequently end in subtle hooks or flicks that reinforce the handwritten influence without becoming ornate.
