A delicate serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and an airy, open texture. Strokes are slender with gently modulated thick–thin contrast, and terminals often finish in tapered, calligraphic points rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and understated, contributing to smooth joins and a continuous reading rhythm. Forms show classic oldstyle influences—round letters are broad and open, counters stay generous, and the overall color remains light even in longer text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—book passages, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headings. It also fits formal communications such as invitations and announcements, as well as branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-end serif italic personality.
The font conveys a poised, literary elegance with a soft, handwritten undertone. Its lightness and flowing italics read as polished and cultured, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than display flamboyance.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated, highly readable italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing smooth flow, open counters, and discreet detailing for long-form settings.
Capitals feel stately but not rigid, with curved entry/exit strokes that keep the line lively. Numerals follow the same refined, lightly calligraphic construction, matching the text’s gentle rhythm and maintaining a consistent, graceful tone across mixed content.
