A slender italic serif with smooth, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a consistent diagonal stress with modest thick–thin modulation, producing a clean, airy color in text. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with sharp terminals and tapered joins, while the lowercase is more cursive in rhythm, with flowing entry/exit strokes and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with open curves and fine terminals that keep figures light on the line.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any context where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles such as invitations, programs, and elegant branding accents when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, slightly romantic feel typical of traditional italic text faces. It reads as formal without becoming stiff, suggesting editorial polish and understated sophistication.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic that balances readability with a calligraphic, humanist flavor. Its narrow proportions and restrained contrast aim to deliver a graceful, economical line while maintaining a distinctly classic serif voice.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in longer passages, and the crisp finishing details (especially in diagonals and curved terminals) give the design a bright, high-end texture. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting continuous reading while preserving the face’s delicate character.
