A delicate italic serif with slender hairline strokes and modest thick–thin modulation. The forms lean noticeably to the right and keep a tidy, vertical rhythm with compact letterfit and tapered terminals. Serifs appear small and lightly bracketed, with sharp, clean joins and a slightly calligraphic sweep in curves and entry strokes. Round letters are oval and controlled, while capitals feel tall and elegant with restrained detailing; figures are similarly light and drawn for text-like harmony rather than display heft.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and other contexts where a refined italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or elegant titling. It also fits invitations, fashion or cultural branding, and premium packaging where a light, graceful serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and formal, with an airy sophistication that reads as editorial and cultured. Its lightness and gentle italic motion suggest elegance, tact, and a quietly luxurious feel rather than bold emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a light footprint—prioritizing elegance, economy of space, and a smooth, continuous texture in running text while remaining polished enough for headings and short display lines.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke weight create a bright page color, making it most comfortable at generous sizes or with ample leading. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the punctuation and numerals keep the same refined, minimal presence as the letters.
