A delicate italic serif with a lightly drawn, calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed with tapered, pen-like terminals that keep the texture open and airy. Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, with narrow joins and a gentle forward slant that reads consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall color on the page is light, favoring graceful outlines over heavy vertical emphasis.
Works well for book and chapter titles, editorial standfirsts, pull quotes, and other display-text moments where an italic voice is desired. It can also suit formal invitations and refined packaging or labeling, especially when paired with a sturdier roman companion for longer reading.
The tone is elegant and literary, with a quiet formality that feels suited to classical, cultured settings. Its airy rhythm and flowing italic forms suggest sophistication and a nuanced, expressive voice rather than blunt utility.
Likely designed to provide a classic italic with a light, cultivated texture—prioritizing elegance, smooth reading rhythm, and a traditional serif vocabulary that performs best at modest-to-large sizes.
Capital forms present restrained flourish (notably in letters with diagonals and curved strokes), while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable cadence with modest ascenders and descenders. Numerals share the same italic energy and fine terminals, reinforcing a cohesive typographic palette for mixed text and figures.
