A delicate italic serif with a light color and smooth, flowing rhythm. Strokes are tapered with gently bracketed serifs and crisp, pointed terminals, giving letters a drawn, pen-like quality rather than a rigid mechanical build. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with generous internal space, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Curves are clean and slightly lifted, with an overall impression of restraint and precision.
Well-suited to longform reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It also works effectively for refined collateral—programs, invitations, and quote treatments—where a light, graceful serif can add elegance without visual heaviness.
The tone is poised and literary, balancing classic formality with a subtle handwritten grace. It feels cultured and quiet, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than bold display.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable italic companion with an elevated, pen-informed character. It prioritizes graceful movement, clear counters, and restrained detailing to deliver a refined text presence.
Capitals read as dignified and slightly calligraphic, with pronounced entry/exit strokes on diagonals and carefully shaped bowls. The lowercase maintains a smooth cursive continuity without actual joining, and the numerals share the same slender, refined construction suited to running text.
