A delicate italic serif with tapered strokes and finely bracketed serifs that read as sharp yet controlled. The forms show a clear calligraphic slant with subtly modulated curves, open counters, and a smooth, even rhythm across text. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while the lowercase has gently rising entry strokes and long, graceful extenders; round letters maintain a calm, ovalized construction. Numerals follow the same thin, high-finesse logic, with elegant curves and understated terminals that keep the set cohesive in continuous reading.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics such as emphasis, quotations, captions, and scholarly apparatus. It also works effectively in refined brand or cultural applications—programs, invitations, and magazine features—where an elegant italic texture is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its light, flowing italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting formality, discretion, and quiet sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-readability italic companion for text, prioritizing a graceful, traditional voice and an even typographic color. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on reliable editorial use rather than display ornamentation.
In the sample text, word shapes remain stable at larger sizes, with consistent spacing and a measured cadence typical of text-oriented italics. The italic energy is present in the stroke endings and the forward motion of bowls and arms, but the design avoids overly exuberant swashes, keeping it appropriate for sustained setting.
