A delicate italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a measured, readable contrast with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant that gives lines a continuous, flowing rhythm. Proportions feel bookish and traditional, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and slightly extended ascenders and descenders that add elegance without becoming ornate. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, angled logic, keeping the overall texture even in longer passages.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or front matter. It also works for refined invitations, programs, and cultural communications that benefit from a classic, polished tone, especially at medium to large text sizes.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking classic print typography and editorial polish. Its light, graceful movement reads as cultured and formal rather than loud, with a gentle sophistication that suits nuanced or narrative content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed skeleton, aiming for a graceful reading rhythm and a composed, timeless presence in continuous text.
In text, the italic rhythm is pronounced and cohesive, creating a smooth diagonal progression across words. The design balances crisp entry/exit strokes with controlled serifs, producing a clean page color that remains airy at larger sizes while still feeling traditional.
