A very light italic serif with long, gently curved entry and exit strokes and crisp, square-ended slab-like terminals. The stroke modulation stays subtle, but the outlines show a calligraphic rhythm through tapered joins, slightly asymmetric curves, and a forward-leaning stance. Proportions are open and spacious, with rounded bowls, narrow joins, and generous sidebearings that create an airy texture in text. Serifs appear unbracketed and cleanly attached, giving the letterforms a precise, editorial finish despite the delicate weight.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and refined branding where a light, graceful italic voice is desired. It works especially well for pull quotes, titles, packaging, and invitation-style materials, and can also serve as a distinctive italic companion in sophisticated text settings when given adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, combining a quiet formality with a graceful, handwritten inflection. It feels polished and understated rather than loud, lending a sense of sophistication and care to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with a delicate, high-end presence while retaining crisp slab-like terminals for structure and clarity. Its generous spacing and smooth curves suggest an emphasis on elegance and readability in display-to-text scenarios rather than dense, utilitarian setting.
Capitals show a classic italic construction with sweeping curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S) and slender diagonals in A, V, W, and X that emphasize the font’s lightness. Numerals are similarly refined, with smooth curves and restrained terminals that keep the set consistent with the text face.
