A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, wedge-like serifs. The forms feel drawn from a calligraphic model: entry/exit strokes are sharp, curves are smooth and open, and joins stay clean rather than heavy. Proportions are on the slender side with compact lowercase and relatively tall ascenders/descenders, giving lines a flowing, slightly vertical rhythm despite the slant. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and narrow footprints suited to continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, literary titling, and refined long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or contrast. It also fits formal invitations, branding accents, and elegant headlines, especially when paired with a sturdier roman companion for hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and upscale editorial styling. Its sharp terminals and graceful italic movement read as formal and poised, with a touch of old-world sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for conventional serif typography—prioritizing grace, clarity, and a traditional reading rhythm. Its narrow, finely tapered construction suggests a focus on elegant emphasis in text and sophisticated display use.
Uppercase shapes are restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows more italic character—noticeably in the looping forms and the dynamic stroke endings. Spacing appears even and controlled in the sample text, supporting a smooth text color at display-to-text sizes when set with comfortable leading.
