A very slender italic serif with a smooth, continuous cursive flow and consistent rightward slant. Strokes are fine and even, with gently tapered terminals and compact, bracketed slab-like serifs that read as crisp horizontal feet rather than sharp wedges. Curves are open and restrained, counters stay clear at small sizes, and the overall rhythm is calm and even, with modest ascenders and descenders and a balanced, readable x-height. Figures follow the same italic logic, using thin strokes and subtle serifing for a cohesive text color.
Well suited to refined editorial typography, book interior pull quotes, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also work for elegant invitations, packaging, and boutique branding—especially where a light, sophisticated texture is preferred over a heavy or rugged slab presence.
The tone is quiet and polished, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than display exuberance. Its light presence and orderly cadence suggest cultured, literary settings—graceful without feeling ornamental or overly dramatic.
Likely designed to provide a graceful italic companion for text and titling, combining a traditional serif foundation with a lighter, more calligraphic italic motion. The goal appears to be legibility with a cultured tone, maintaining consistent rhythm while adding a distinctive, refined slant.
Capitals are narrow and upright in construction but carry the italic stress, giving headings a composed, formal air. The lowercase shows a handwritten influence in letters like a, e, g, and y, yet remains disciplined and text-oriented, with consistent spacing and a restrained, traditional vocabulary.
