This typeface is a very light, right-leaning serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction. Strokes are thin and smooth with restrained modulation, and terminals frequently resolve into tapered, slightly hooked finishes rather than blunt cuts. The capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior space and understated bracketed serifs, while the lowercase shows flowing, cursive-like joins and extended ascenders/descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same delicate, italicized drawing, keeping a consistent, refined texture across text.
It performs best in editorial contexts where a refined, traditional tone is desired—book and magazine typography, literary excerpts, and pull quotes. The delicate construction also suits formal stationery such as invitations and announcements, especially when set with ample leading and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is cultured and lyrical, suggesting traditional book typography filtered through a soft, handwritten sensibility. Its lightness and gentle slant lend a polite, intimate voice—more poetic than assertive—suited to content that benefits from elegance and nuance.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable text serif with an italic-forward personality, balancing traditional proportions with calligraphic movement. Its focus seems to be on creating an elegant page color and a graceful reading rhythm rather than high-impact display presence.
In running text the letterforms create a smooth diagonal rhythm, with open counters and fine details that reward comfortable sizes and generous spacing. The italic angle and tapered terminals make the texture feel continuous and fluid, while the capitals remain restrained enough to pair with the lowercase without overpowering it.
