A delicate italic serif with tapered strokes and gently bracketed serifs, showing a smooth, continuous rhythm across lines. Curves are open and rounded, with restrained modulation and crisp terminals that often finish in subtle hooks. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase uses flowing, slightly calligraphic forms with long ascenders and modest descenders, creating an overall light, buoyant texture in paragraph settings. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved forms and graceful entry/exit strokes that match the text’s italic movement.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a refined italic voice is needed. It also fits elevated branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when used at comfortable text sizes or as a complementary italic for emphasis in longer passages.
The tone is poised and literary, balancing classic bookish formality with a graceful, handwritten lilt. Its lightness and slant convey sophistication and calm, making the text feel cultured rather than assertive.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that adds elegance and motion without heavy contrast or overt display styling. Its consistent slant, modest modulation, and carefully finished terminals suggest a focus on readability and refined emphasis in running text.
The italic angle is consistent and gives strong word-shape cohesion; the rhythm remains even despite the fine hairlines. Details like the hooked terminals (notably in j, f, and some lowercase joins) and the open, looping forms contribute to a polished, editorial character.
