A slender italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and an overall calligraphic, drawn-with-a-pen rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation and tapered terminals, with smooth joins and open, rounded counters that keep text airy. The slant is consistent and moderate, and capitals are crisp and restrained rather than decorative, while the lowercase relies on curved entry/exit strokes and soft, slightly sheared forms. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic logic, with curved figures and fine finishing details that maintain a cohesive texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, introductions, or running text with a classical tone. It also fits refined print materials such as invitations, programs, and branding that benefits from a traditional serif italic with a calm, polished presence.
The font conveys a poised, literary elegance—formal without feeling rigid. Its flowing italic movement and refined detailing suggest tradition, editorial polish, and a quiet sense of sophistication appropriate for cultured, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a continuous, pen-like flow, delivering a refined typographic color for long-form composition while remaining understated in display.
In continuous text, the narrow italic forms create a smooth diagonal cadence with relatively open spacing and a light, shimmering color. Descenders are noticeably graceful and can be long in letters like j, p, q, and y, which adds character but increases the need for comfortable line spacing in dense layouts.
