A delicate italic serif with a calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered entries and exits, and the italic angle is steady across both cases. Capitals are formal and lightly modeled, while the lowercase is more fluid, with single-storey a and g, a gently looping f, and a long-tailed y that adds rhythm. Numerals are italic as well, with open curves and slender terminals that keep the overall color light and airy in text.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine features where an italic serif is used for emphasis, introductions, or extended quotations. The light, flowing character also makes it a strong choice for literary titles, refined stationery, and short-form display lines where elegance and motion are desired.
The overall tone is graceful and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a hint of handwritten ease. Its slanted, tapered forms feel cultured and expressive without becoming decorative, lending a calm, refined voice to longer passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed skeleton. It aims to provide an elegant companion voice for continuous reading, balancing formal capitals with a more cursive, rhythmic lowercase.
In continuous text the design reads with a smooth, forward-moving cadence; joins and terminals are softened rather than abrupt, which helps maintain an even texture. The italic forms are fully realized (not merely obliqued), giving the face a coherent, intentionally cursive presence across letters and figures.
