A delicate italic serif with slender hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in stance with a lively, calligraphic slant and smooth, continuous curves. Stress reads as traditional, with noticeably thin horizontals and crisp, tapered terminals, giving a clean, sparkling rhythm in text. Lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height for an italic serif, with compact counters and tidy joins; capitals are elegant and slightly narrow, with restrained flourish.
Well suited to editorial settings where elegance and a light touch are desirable, such as magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and literary titles. It can also work for formal stationery or invitations, especially when paired with a sturdier roman or sans companion for hierarchy.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its lightness and crisp detailing create an airy, sophisticated impression rather than a bold or utilitarian one.
This design appears intended as a classic, readable italic with a refined, high-end voice—prioritizing elegance, smooth flow, and a traditional serif texture for continuous reading and sophisticated display moments.
In the figures, forms are slim and slightly formal, echoing the same hairline-and-curve logic as the letters, which helps keep mixed text consistent. The italic angle is pronounced enough to feel expressive, while the serifs remain controlled and traditional.
