A slender, italic serif with crisp bracketed serifs and a controlled, moderate stroke contrast. The letterforms are tall and slightly condensed, with pointed terminals, tapered strokes, and a smooth, continuous cursive slant that stays consistent across the alphabet. Curves are clean and open, counters are generous for the weight, and joins feel pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Numerals and capitals retain the same refined rhythm, with delicate entry/exit strokes and a distinctly formal profile.
This font is well suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book matter, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively for formal invitations and short display lines that benefit from elegance and movement, especially when set with ample leading.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, evoking classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its lightness and steady italic movement give it a graceful, slightly dramatic voice suited to expressive emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that provides sophisticated emphasis while maintaining a calm, even typographic color. Its narrow, elegant proportions and disciplined contrast suggest a focus on literary and editorial typography rather than loud headline impact.
The design shows careful balance between sharp details (notably in terminals and diagonals) and soft bracketing at the serifs, producing a polished, readable texture. The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a simple slant, with more calligraphic shaping in lowercase forms and a cohesive flow in continuous text.
