A delicate italic text serif with bracketed serifs and a clearly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals, soft joins, and a smooth, continuous rhythm through curves. Proportions are traditional and slightly narrow in places, with open counters and a measured slant that stays consistent across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are elegant and restrained, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and gently swelling bowls that keep texture even in longer lines.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or passages with a classical tone. It can also serve in formal stationery and invitations when a restrained, traditional elegance is desired, especially at comfortable text sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and cultured editorial settings. Its light touch and fluid motion feel calm and polished rather than assertive, giving text a composed, slightly romantic character.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing smooth texture and a disciplined slant. It aims to balance elegance with practicality by keeping forms conventional and counters open while preserving a distinctly calligraphic flavor.
The italics are strongly idiomatic: many letters lean with pronounced cursive logic, and the figures follow the same graceful, oldstyle-like movement, helping numbers blend naturally into text. Spacing appears tuned for continuous reading, producing an airy color with clear word shapes.
