A slender italic serif with a light, flowing texture and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals, with a consistent rightward slant and gently calligraphic curves. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more animated, with tall ascenders, delicate joins, and open, readable counters. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, staying thin and graceful without becoming spidery.
Well suited for editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also support refined stationery and invitations, or short display lines that benefit from a classical, graceful slant. In longer settings it will favor comfortable sizes and generous spacing to preserve its light, crisp details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultivated formality. Its italic movement adds a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as graceful rather than loud or decorative. The light color on the page gives it an airy, refined presence suited to nuanced typography.
This design appears intended as a traditional italic companion with a calm, bookish character—combining conventional serif structure with a subtly calligraphic hand. The goal seems to be elegant emphasis and fluent reading rhythm rather than high-impact display.
Stroke endings often resolve into sharp, angled cuts, and the serifs stay understated, helping long lines keep a smooth cadence. The italic construction is expressive in the lowercase, especially in letters with extended entry/exit strokes, which adds personality while maintaining a conventional text-serif discipline.
