A delicate italic serif with fluid, calligraphic construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show fine hairlines and gently thickened stems, with softly bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the texture light and airy. Counters are open and rounded, curves transition smoothly, and the overall rhythm favors graceful diagonals and long, sweeping extenders over rigid verticality.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—introductions, emphasis, pull quotes, and captions—especially in print or high-resolution contexts. It also fits formal communications such as invitations, programs, and elegant branding where a light, graceful serif italic can provide sophistication without heavy presence.
The tone is cultivated and expressive, suggesting traditional book typography with a hint of handwritten elegance. It reads as formal without feeling stiff, lending a lyrical, slightly romantic flavor to text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic that prioritizes readability and classical polish while preserving a distinctly calligraphic flow. Its restrained contrast and fine detailing aim to deliver an elegant typographic color for emphasis and refined presentation.
Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical, while the lowercase adds more motion through curved joins and extended ascenders/descenders. Numerals match the italic cadence, maintaining the same thin-to-thick modulation and refined finishing details.
