A light, italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with fine hairlines and tapered terminals, producing a crisp, delicate texture. Capitals are wide and poised with long, sweeping diagonals and subtle entry/exit flicks, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with open counters and a slanted, right-leaning cursive motion. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with angled forms and fine finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited for editorial typography, chapter openings, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where an expressive italic is desirable. It also fits invitations, menus, and refined brand applications that benefit from a classic, formal voice.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its graceful slant and hairline detail add a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears intended as a traditional, bookish italic serif that prioritizes graceful rhythm, contrast, and a handwritten-inflected elegance for refined reading and display settings.
The design relies on thin joins and sharp terminals, so it reads most confidently at display and comfortable text sizes where the italic motion and contrast can be appreciated. The letterforms favor elegance over sturdiness, with pronounced curves and occasional swashy touches in the lowercase.
