A delicate italic serif with slender stems, gently bracketed serifs, and smooth, controlled curves. The design shows moderate thick–thin modulation typical of pen-influenced italics, with tapered entry/exit strokes and softly rounded joins. Counters are open and oval, spacing is generous, and the overall rhythm is calm and even, giving long text a light, flowing texture. Numerals follow the same italic, slightly calligraphic logic with restrained terminals and clear, readable forms.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined display within text. It can also serve in elegant stationery, invitations, and cultural branding where a classical serif with a light, fluent texture supports a premium, traditional presentation.
The tone is poised and literary, balancing classical formality with a graceful, handwritten inflection. Its light touch and smooth motion feel polished and cultured rather than dramatic, lending a quiet sophistication to editorial typography.
Likely intended as a readable, classical italic serif that complements text composition with a graceful, calligraphic cadence. The design prioritizes smooth rhythm, open counters, and restrained detailing to maintain clarity while conveying refinement.
Uppercase forms maintain traditional proportions and crisp serif detailing, while the lowercase shows pronounced cursive construction (notably in a, f, g, and y) that reinforces the italic voice. The overall color stays bright on the page, with fine hairlines and subtle modulation contributing to an airy, premium feel.
