A very slender italic with tall proportions and a smooth, continuous rhythm. Strokes show minimal contrast and end in crisp, slab-like terminals that read as small, squared serifs, giving the letterforms a lightly chiseled, engraved finish. Curves are gently drawn and open, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the lowercase; the italic slant is consistent and the spacing stays even, producing an airy texture in text.
Works well for editorial typography where a light, sophisticated italic is needed—magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes. It can also suit invitations and formal announcements when set at comfortable sizes with generous leading to preserve its airy detail.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a quiet formality that feels traditional rather than flashy. Its delicate construction and steady italic movement suggest a classic, literary voice suited to cultured, understated typography.
Likely designed to offer a delicate italic voice that blends classical serif conventions with crisp, slab-like terminals, creating a distinctive texture for refined setting. The intent appears focused on elegance and readability in short-to-medium text rather than heavy display impact.
Uppercase forms appear restrained and upright in structure despite the slant, while the lowercase introduces more handwritten warmth through soft joins and sweeping exits. Numerals keep the same thin, flowing character and integrate smoothly with text, maintaining a cohesive, refined color.
