A delicately drawn italic serif with a steep rightward slant and a light, wiry stroke. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep counters open and the overall color airy. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed, with long ascenders/descenders and a flowing rhythm that reads as continuous and smooth rather than sharply segmented. Numerals and capitals share the same graceful, slightly calligraphic modulation, maintaining a consistent texture across lines of text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or literary passages. It can also serve refined print applications such as invitations, programs, and packaging copy where a graceful, traditional tone is desired, especially at moderate to larger text sizes.
The tone is formal and cultivated, with a quiet, editorial elegance. Its slim strokes and fluent italic movement suggest sophistication and restraint rather than display flamboyance, evoking book typography and classical correspondence.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that prioritizes elegance and readability through open forms, restrained contrast, and carefully tapered detailing. It aims to deliver a traditional, bookish italic color with enough finesse for refined editorial and formal communication.
Curves are rounded and generous (notably in O/Q/C forms), while joins and terminals stay crisp and fine, helping the face feel precise despite its light build. The overall spacing and italic rhythm create a gentle forward momentum, giving paragraphs a polished, poetic cadence.
