This italic serif has a delicate, airy color with fine hairlines and small, tapered wedge serifs. Strokes follow a consistent rightward slant and show gentle modulation, giving counters an open, flowing rhythm. Proportions lean tall and slender, with long ascenders/descenders and a relatively restrained x-height, producing generous white space between lines. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, while terminals stay crisp and pointed rather than rounded or blunt.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and literary titling. It can also work for formal stationery and invitation lines when used at comfortable sizes with ample leading, where the fine details can remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, bookish sophistication. Its light touch and graceful italics suggest formality and restraint rather than exuberance, reading as classic and cultured in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, classical italic companion for serif text—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a light, sophisticated texture over robustness or heavy display impact.
The figures and capitals maintain the same refined, high-contrast feeling, with narrow forms and sharp finishing details that reinforce a premium look. The italic construction is continuous across the set, with a cohesive slanted stress and consistent spacing that keeps text looking calm and even.
