A delicate, calligraphy-inflected serif with a consistent italic slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a lively, drawn quality rather than a rigid constructed one. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay readable, and the rhythm is slightly flowing, with narrow joins and elegant terminals that keep the texture light and airy in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and slender connecting strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for body copy or extended emphasis. It can also serve in refined print applications such as invitations, programs, and cultured branding where a traditional, graceful serif impression is desired.
The overall tone is literary and refined, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured editorial contexts. Its slanted, high-contrast strokes add a sense of motion and elegance, while the restrained detailing keeps it composed and formal rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, text-ready italic with strong calligraphic heritage, balancing expressive stroke modulation with disciplined proportions for comfortable continuous reading. It prioritizes an elegant page color and a traditional typographic voice for editorial and literary use.
In the grid and text sample, the letterforms show a consistent diagonal stress and tapered terminals that help maintain clarity at text sizes, while still delivering a distinctly stylized italic personality. The capital set reads stately and clean, pairing well with the more expressive lowercase to produce a classic, book-like typographic color.
