A slanted serif text face with a delicate, crisp color and carefully bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation, with thin hairlines and fuller stems that read smoothly at text sizes. The italic construction is evident in the forward-leaning axis, curved entry/exit strokes, and gently tapered terminals, giving letters a flowing rhythm without becoming overly ornate. Capitals are restrained and traditional, while lowercase forms are slightly narrow and lively, with open counters and subtly extended ascenders/descenders that add elegance to paragraphs.
It performs well in continuous reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. The refined forms also suit formal stationery, invitations, and high-end branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice. For best results, it should be given adequate size and spacing so the fine hairlines and tapered terminals stay clear.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an editorial sophistication that feels suited to established institutions and thoughtful long-form reading. Its italic voice reads poised and cultured rather than playful, suggesting refinement and formality. The gentle calligraphic influence adds warmth while maintaining a composed, bookish character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a polished, tradition-rooted structure and a measured calligraphic flair. It aims to provide a graceful, readable italic for editorial typography, balancing crisp detail with smooth, continuous rhythm.
Figures appear oldstyle in spirit with varying widths and curved strokes that match the italic text rhythm. The italic ‘f’, ‘g’, and ‘y’ show pronounced, graceful descenders, and the capitals maintain a steady, traditional presence that pairs well with the more animated lowercase.
