A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation with crisp hairlines, tapered terminals, and smooth joins that keep counters open and readable. Proportions are relatively tall and compact, with a narrow set and a steady rightward slant that creates a continuous, forward rhythm. Capitals are restrained but formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement through hooked entry strokes, curved descenders, and occasional swash-like terminals; numerals share the same italic cadence with thin, sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined typography. It can also serve in formal communications—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—where a light, classic serif italic helps convey tradition and polish.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than exuberant display. Its light color and graceful motion feel polished and traditional, lending a sense of elegance and quiet authority on the page.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a graceful, calligraphic inflection. Its controlled contrast and consistent slant aim to deliver an elegant emphasis style for continuous text while retaining enough character for tasteful headlines and formal stationery.
The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the design favors pointed, slightly calligraphic terminals over blunt finishes. A few glyphs show more expressive curvature (notably in the lowercase and the ampersand), adding personality without breaking the overall text rhythm.
