A slender italic serif with high-waisted proportions, tight sidebearings, and an overall airy color on the page. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with hairline-like entry/exit strokes and thicker stems that remain delicate. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, and many joins and terminals carry a subtle calligraphic sweep that reinforces the diagonal rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the italic construction keeps the texture lively without becoming overly ornate.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display-like passages. It can also serve refined marketing materials—such as invitations, menus, and brand accents—where a light, classic italic can add polish without heavy weight.
The tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and a traditional, bookish sensibility. Its lightness and pronounced italic motion give it a graceful, slightly formal voice that feels more elegant than emphatic.
The font appears designed to provide a stylish, traditional italic with a light footprint—an option that brings elegance and nuanced contrast to text while maintaining a conventional serif structure and consistent rhythm.
The design reads best where spacing can breathe: the narrow set and fine details create a shimmering texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same delicate, italicized logic, aligning visually with the text rather than standing apart.
