A delicate italic serif with fine hairlines and gently swelling curves that create a smooth, continuous rhythm. The serifs are small and bracketed, often ending in sharp, tapered terminals that feel pen-informed rather than mechanical. Capitals are poised and slightly narrow with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a flowing cursive construction with single-storey forms and a pronounced rightward slant. Numerals are light and elegant, with open curves and thin joining strokes that keep the color on the page bright and refined.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a light, elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding applications—such as fashion, hospitality, or cultural institutions—especially for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where its delicate details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, with an airy sophistication that reads as editorial and literary. Its thin, graceful strokes and calligraphic movement give it a quiet luxury suited to understated, premium typography rather than bold display.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, traditional italic for comfortable, high-end text setting, emphasizing calligraphic motion and restrained ornament over blunt sturdiness. It aims for a polished reading texture and a classic, cultivated personality.
The italic angle is consistent and the spacing feels relatively open, helping long lines look fluid despite the fine stroke weight. Curved letters maintain smooth modulation, and many terminals resolve into subtle hooks or teardrop-like finishes, reinforcing a hand-led, classical impression.
