A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant with smooth, calligraphic joins, teardrop-like terminals, and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep counters open despite the fine hairlines. Proportions are moderately expansive with generous sidebearings, giving lines an airy, unhurried rhythm; capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in structure, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and flowing cursive logic. Figures appear lining with clear baseline alignment and sharp, angled terminals that match the italic ductus.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined titling. It also fits formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a classic, elegant italic can carry headings or short passages with distinction.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional craft. Its airy spacing and graceful motion read as poised and cultivated rather than loud or decorative, lending a sense of ceremony and editorial authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for text settings, prioritizing graceful movement, crisp serifs, and a calm, readable rhythm. It aims to deliver a traditional, cultured tone while remaining clean and controlled in continuous text.
The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with long, smooth diagonals and careful tapering that emphasizes elegance at display sizes. Hairline details look intentionally fine, so the design relies on clean reproduction and adequate size to preserve its sharpness.
