A slender italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with a consistent rightward slant, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, with open counters and slightly pointed joins; ascenders and capitals read tall and graceful, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with flowing diagonals and delicate terminals that keep the overall color light and even.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for introductions, pull quotes, captions, and other emphasis settings that benefit from a refined, classical tone without heavy weight.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic sophistication rather than overt ornament. Its italic movement feels poised and formal, suggesting tradition, editorial authority, and a measured sense of luxury.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif italic that provides a graceful, readable emphasis style with a distinctly calligraphic flow. The narrow proportions and controlled detailing suggest a focus on maintaining an even page texture while adding elegance and momentum in running text.
The design favors clear, narrow silhouettes and careful spacing, giving lines a neat, fast-reading texture. Capitals and figures carry a distinctive italic presence that makes the face feel intentional as a primary italic rather than a simple slanted companion.
