A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The capitals are narrow and gently slanted, with bracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic entry/exit strokes that keep the texture bright and airy. Lowercase forms show a traditional italic structure with single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and long, sweeping ascenders and descenders; terminals frequently end in fine wedges or hooks. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with elegant curves, varying widths, and fine hairline details that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is desired for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headings. It can also support upscale branding and formal invitations when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, evoking bookish sophistication and a classical, editorial polish. Its lively stroke endings and graceful slant add a sense of movement and formality without feeling heavy or rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for refined reading and display contexts, prioritizing graceful movement, sharp finishing details, and a traditional typographic color.
Spacing appears measured but not tight, helping the high-contrast shapes avoid crowding at text sizes. The italic is expressive rather than purely utilitarian, with noticeable calligraphic stress and distinct, characterful terminals in letters like Q, f, y, and z.
