A delicate italic serif with tapered strokes and moderately bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than constructed. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, open counters, and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm across words. Capitals are restrained and classical, with crisp terminals and subtle swelling through curves, while lowercase forms favor flowing joins and rounded bowls. Numerals appear lining in height with similarly tapered, slightly stylized shapes that maintain the same light, even texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter. It can also serve refined branding and formal printed pieces—particularly where a light, classic tone is preferred over high-impact contrast.
The overall tone is graceful and literary, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional editorial typography. Its lightness and gentle movement give it a cultured, poetic feel rather than a loud or forceful voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a refined, calligraphic flavor—balancing traditional proportions with a light touch for an elegant text color. It aims to provide a graceful companion voice for continuous text while remaining polished and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Curves and entry/exit strokes are handled with soft, pen-like modulation, helping long passages read with a smooth horizontal flow. The italic construction is pronounced enough to be expressive, yet regularized for continuous reading rather than display-only flourishes.
