A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairlines. Strokes are smoothly tapered with a calligraphic flow, and the serifs appear small and neatly bracketed, lending a crisp, engraved-like finish. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in their internal spacing with lively diagonals and a consistent rightward slant, creating an energetic rhythm without looking hurried. Curves in C, G, O, and Q are clean and open, while terminals often finish in sharp, slightly hooked points that reinforce the italic character.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or refined display lines. It can also support elegant invitations, cultural branding, and packaging where a classic, high-contrast italic can add sophistication—particularly at medium to larger sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its airy contrast and poised slant convey sophistication and a gentle sense of motion, making it feel articulate and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that balances classic serif proportions with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. It aims to provide an elegant companion voice for reading contexts, prioritizing smooth rhythm, graceful transitions, and a polished, traditional finish.
Capitals read as stately and slightly calligraphic, while the lowercase shows a more pen-driven construction with crisp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, staying elegant and readable with a classic, text-friendly demeanor.
