A delicate italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and a light, open texture. Strokes are slender with smooth curves and softly bracketed serifs, and the letterforms lean consistently with a flowing, rightward rhythm. Uppercase shapes are narrow and poised with tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and rounded bowls that keep counters generous and clean. Numerals match the text style with thin, slightly decorative curves and modest entry/exit strokes, maintaining an even, understated typographic color.
Well suited to editorial display, chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined packaging or identity work where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and can serve as a complementary italic accent alongside a more neutral serif in mixed typography.
The tone is graceful and literary, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its airy presence and smooth italic motion evoke bookish sophistication, quiet luxury, and a traditional editorial feel.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, cultivated italic for text-forward settings, emphasizing grace, readability at moderate sizes, and a restrained touch of ornament through softly shaped serifs and flowing terminals.
Distinctive details include a looped or swashed feel on several capitals and the Q’s extended tail, along with single-storey forms in the lowercase that reinforce a handwritten influence. Spacing appears relaxed, helping the italic angle read clearly and keeping words from clumping at larger sizes.
