A very slender italic serif with delicate, hairline-like strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The forms are narrow and flowing, with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic curves in rounds and diagonals. Capitals are restrained and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows a soft rhythm with open counters, a single-storey “g,” and lightly tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same thin, elegant construction, with clear, understated shapes designed to sit quietly in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined headings. It can also work for invitations and brand materials that aim for a quiet, classic sophistication, particularly when set with ample whitespace and moderate sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, evoking editorial refinement rather than loud display. Its light touch and continuous italic motion feel literary and formal, suited to elegant, composed typography.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, text-friendly italic with traditional serif detailing and a light, refined presence. It emphasizes smooth rhythm and classic proportions to deliver a composed, literary character in continuous reading and short editorial emphases.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and fine serifs create a high-contrast, airy texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous spacing. The italic angle is steady and cohesive across letters, producing a smooth line flow and a polished, traditional reading color.
