A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that keep the page color light. The construction leans calligraphic, with tapered terminals, sharp entry strokes, and neatly cut serifs that read as fine wedges rather than slabs. Curves are open and smoothly tensioned, while verticals and diagonals stay crisp, giving the design a brisk rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with a restrained x-height and slightly lively, varied forms across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within serif text settings. It also works effectively for refined display applications such as book or chapter titles, invitations, and cultural branding where a light, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its bright, airy texture and precise contrast convey refinement and a classic editorial sensibility, with a subtle handwritten energy typical of elegant italics.
Likely intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for text and display roles, prioritizing elegance and fluid reading rhythm over sturdiness. The design aims to provide a polished, traditional italic voice that pairs naturally with conventional serif typography.
In the sample text, the high contrast and thin hairlines create a sophisticated shimmer, but also make spacing and line quality feel intentionally light. The italic angle is consistent and moderately assertive, helping words flow while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
