A delicate italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and consistent rightward slant. Strokes are thin and clean with moderated contrast, showing tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that stay sharp rather than bulky. The rhythm is lively and slightly cursive in feel—especially in the lowercase—with narrow joins, open counters, and a modest footprint per letter that keeps spacing airy. Capitals are restrained and formal, while the numerals are slender and angled to harmonize with the italic flow.
This font suits long-form editorial and book settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or cited passages. It also performs well in refined display roles—such as literary headlines, epigraphs, invitations, and formal announcements—where its light, flowing character can add elegance without heavy visual weight.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, suggesting traditional book typography with a hint of handwritten sophistication. It reads as polished and expressive rather than neutral, bringing a quiet sense of ceremony to text without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a classic italic companion with a text-first structure, balancing traditional serif detailing with a lightly calligraphic cadence. Its goal seems to be providing a graceful, readable italic that feels at home in literary and editorial contexts while still offering enough character for tasteful display use.
The italic forms emphasize smooth entry and exit strokes, and several letters show distinctive, slightly swashed-like curves (notably in the lowercase and the ampersand), which adds personality while maintaining a disciplined, classical structure.
