A very slender italic serif with long, clean strokes and a smooth forward slant. Serifs read as small, squared terminals that stay crisp and unbracketed, giving the forms a sharp, linear finish rather than a soft, transitional feel. Curves are broad and controlled (notably in C, G, O, Q), while diagonals are taut and straight, producing an even, poised rhythm. Letterforms are narrowly proportioned with generous sidebearings in text, and the overall texture stays light and open; figures follow the same thin-stroked, italicized demeanor with simple, readable shapes.
Works well for editorial typography, book or magazine interiors, pull quotes, and other refined text settings where a light italic voice is desired. It can also serve in elegant invitations or formal stationery, especially for short passages where its airy stroke weight and crisp terminals remain clear.
The tone is cultured and understated—more bookish and editorial than loud or decorative. Its light, slanted voice suggests elegance and formality, with a calm cadence suited to sophisticated, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended to provide a delicate italic companion with a polished, classical demeanor, balancing graceful cursive motion with clean, squared serif endings for a more structured, contemporary neatness.
Capitals have a gently calligraphic flavor from the slant and tapered joins, but the terminals remain decisively squared, creating a subtle tension between graceful movement and crisp finishing. Descenders (g, j, p, q, y) are relatively long and contribute to a flowing, vertical rhythm that feels spacious when set with comfortable leading.
