A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic skeleton and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition from hairline thins to sharper, more substantial diagonals, producing a lively rhythm and clear directional flow. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed entry/exit strokes that feel pen-driven rather than purely geometric. The overall texture is open and breathable, with moderate proportions and a consistent rightward slant that keeps lines looking fluid without becoming overly cursive.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and headline or pull-quote work where elegance and contrast are desirable. Because of its fine hairlines, it will be most comfortable at sizes and production conditions that preserve detail.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone—polished and cultured, with a sense of tradition and restraint. Its thin hairlines and refined contrast read as sophisticated and premium, leaning toward classical elegance rather than rugged or utilitarian character.
The design appears intended as a classic, bookish italic with a pen-informed construction—built to provide graceful emphasis and a sophisticated tone while maintaining the structured familiarity of conventional serif typography.
Uppercase forms show restrained, classic construction with graceful diagonals and sharp finishing strokes, while the lowercase leans more humanist and handwriting-informed (notably in the looping, single-storey shapes). Numerals match the italic motion and contrast, with slender forms that maintain the same delicate color and spacing feel as the letters.
