A delicate italic serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation and finely bracketed wedge serifs. The rhythm is flowing and slightly lively, with gently inclined verticals and soft entry/exit terminals that keep the texture open. Capitals are restrained and classical in proportion, while lowercase forms lean on smooth curves and narrow joins, producing an even, bookish color. Numerals are similarly slender and gracefully drawn, with clear differentiation and a traditional, text-oriented feel.
Well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazines, essays, and pull quotes—where a graceful italic texture is needed. It can also work for refined branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at comfortable text sizes or as a complementary italic in a broader system.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting quiet sophistication rather than display drama. Its light touch and controlled contrast read as cultivated and editorial, with an old-world warmth that suits formal or poetic settings. The italic angle adds motion and nuance, giving the face a fluent, expressive voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances elegance with readability, offering a light, airy page color and traditional serif cues. It prioritizes smooth reading rhythm and classical proportions while adding a subtle calligraphic character for emphasis and tone.
Round letters maintain generous interior counters, helping the type stay legible despite the thin hairlines. Several forms show traditional italic characteristics (single-storey tendencies and sweeping terminals), which reinforces a classic text-italic personality and a gentle, handwritten influence.
