A delicate italic serif with slender hairlines and a gently flowing, calligraphic construction. The strokes show a clear diagonal stress and crisp, wedge-like serifs that taper into the stems, giving a clean, engraved feel rather than heavy bracketed terminals. Capitals are narrow and slightly formal, with restrained flourishes; the lowercase is more cursive in rhythm, with long ascenders, compact bowls, and softly looping joins. Figures are italic and light, with graceful curves and modest, tapered terminals that keep the overall color open and refined.
This font suits editorial settings where a refined italic voice is needed—pull quotes, introductions, captions, and literary titling. It also works well for invitations, formal announcements, and premium branding where delicacy and sophistication are priorities, especially at comfortable text sizes with ample leading.
The tone is poised and literary, suggesting classical book typography and formal correspondence. Its light touch and smooth italic movement feel cultured and romantic, leaning toward elegance over neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a classical, bookish italic with a light, polished presence—more about graceful cadence and tradition than display exuberance. It balances crisp serif detailing with smooth cursive continuity to read elegantly in continuous text while still feeling special in short phrases.
The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive forward motion in text. Spacing appears intentionally open to preserve clarity at such a fine weight, and the overall texture stays even without looking rigid or mechanical.
