A delicate italic serif with a strongly slanted axis and a crisp, controlled stroke. Serifs are fine and bracketed with tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a cut-pen-like finish without becoming ornamental. Curves are open and smooth (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while diagonals and joins stay sharp and clean, creating a lively rhythm. Uppercase proportions are slender and stately; the lowercase shows a compact, readable x-height with distinctly italic forms such as a single-storey a and a fluid, looped g. Numerals are similarly light and graceful, with thin entry/exit strokes and a consistent, measured spacing.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or captions. It also fits book and magazine settings that want a classical, airy texture, and can work effectively in invitations or brand materials when set at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with an understated elegance that feels appropriate for formal or cultured settings. Its lightness and italic motion give it a graceful, personal voice while maintaining a disciplined, traditional structure.
The font appears designed to provide a contemporary, cleanly drawn italic within a conventional serif framework—prioritizing elegance, smooth reading rhythm, and a consistent, formal voice for text and display emphasis.
The design favors clarity through open counters and restrained detailing, keeping the texture even in continuous text despite the fine strokes. The italic construction is evident across both cases, producing a smooth left-to-right flow that reads as polished rather than casual.
