A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a calligraphic axis. Serifs are fine and hairline-like, often gently bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give contours a sharpened, sculpted feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, producing an open, breathable texture; round forms are smooth and elliptical, while diagonals and joins stay crisp. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, with small, precise finishing strokes that keep the overall color light and polished.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic distinction. It also fits premium branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a sophisticated, traditional serif presence.
The font projects a poised, editorial elegance with a distinctly classical tone. Its sweeping italic rhythm and fine detailing feel formal and cultivated, suggesting literature, luxury, and thoughtful restraint rather than loud display.
Likely designed as a contemporary take on a classic italic text serif, prioritizing elegant movement, high contrast, and crisp finishing details. The goal appears to be a refined reading and display companion that brings a formal, literary character to paragraphs and headlines alike.
The italic angle is consistent and steady, creating a continuous rightward flow in text. Counters remain clear despite thin hairlines, and the overall rhythm favors grace and refinement over ruggedness or geometric rigidity.
