A delicate italic serif with slender hairlines, tapered terminals, and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a gentle modulation rather than sharp high contrast, and curves are drawn with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. The italic angle is pronounced, with flowing entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms and a slightly narrower, uplifted feel in the capitals. Counters remain open and proportions feel balanced, giving the face an airy texture even in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, long-form reading passages, and magazine features where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis or voice. It also fits formal invitations, refined packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a quiet, premium tone. Best used at comfortable text sizes where the fine details and tapered terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting classic editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its lightness and smooth italics read as graceful and cultivated rather than assertive, with a subtle handwritten warmth under a disciplined serif structure.
Likely designed as a refined text italic that balances classical serif cues with a smooth, calligraphic motion. The intention appears to prioritize readable, graceful emphasis and a sophisticated page color rather than bold display presence.
Capitals have crisp, wedge-like finishing and a restrained presence that pairs cleanly with the more animated lowercase. Numerals appear similarly refined and understated, matching the text style rather than emphasizing display impact. Spacing and rhythm in the sample text create an even, gently flowing line that favors elegance over density.
