A delicate italic serif with calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with smooth entry/exit terminals and an overall left-to-right pen rhythm that keeps forms lively without becoming decorative. Uppercase letters feel restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows more movement—single-storey forms, open apertures, and long, elegant extenders that create an airy vertical texture. Numerals are slender and slightly stylized, matching the light, flowing tone of the letterforms.
It suits long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where a graceful italic voice is desired. It also works well for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal materials like invitations or programs that benefit from a refined, traditional tone.
The font conveys a literary, cultivated character—quietly formal and refined rather than bold or attention-seeking. Its italic cadence adds warmth and a sense of tradition, suggesting editorial elegance and thoughtful narration.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with a calligraphic underpinning—prioritizing elegance, readability, and a classic typographic rhythm suitable for polished publishing contexts.
Spacing appears generous, helping the thin hairlines stay clear and giving text a light, breathable color. The slant is consistent and moderate, and the curves maintain smooth continuity, which supports longer reading while still feeling expressive.
