A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and lightly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and a gentle, pen-like modulation, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep the color open and airy. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, while counters remain spacious for a crisp, graceful rhythm in text. The capitals are formal and slightly sweeping, and the italic lowercase features single-storey forms and soft entry/exit strokes that reinforce a continuous cursive texture.
This face performs best as an italic companion for long-form reading, where its open counters and consistent cursive rhythm support comfortable texture. It also suits editorial pull quotes, captions, and refined short-form settings such as invitations or cultural branding where a classical italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a quiet sense of tradition. Its light footprint and graceful slant convey sophistication and restraint rather than display flamboyance, making it feel suited to classic editorial and book-minded contexts.
The design appears intended as a traditional, text-oriented italic that prioritizes elegance and readability through restrained contrast, pen-informed shaping, and a cohesive cursive rhythm. It aims to deliver a refined emphasis style that integrates smoothly into page typography while still feeling expressive.
Numerals are slender and slanted with a distinctly oldstyle feel, blending smoothly with the lowercase in running text. The italic ‘f’ and long ascenders give lines a lively vertical cadence, and the capitals maintain a calm, dignified presence without becoming heavy or overly decorative.
