A delicate italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear, calligraphic modulation with thin hairlines and slightly fuller diagonals, producing a crisp, bright page color at text sizes. Capitals are narrow and poised with clean wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase carries a fluid rightward slant and gently varied rhythm. Counters are open and the numerals follow the same graceful, lightly inclined construction for a consistent texture across mixed content.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where a graceful italic is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It can also work effectively for refined invitations, quotations, and short-form display lines that benefit from a polished, classical voice.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its lightness and controlled movement feel cultured and tasteful rather than loud, with an airy elegance that suits sophisticated editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, elegant italic companion for text typography, prioritizing a smooth reading rhythm with restrained calligraphic character. It aims to deliver a classic, cultured impression while keeping forms crisp and consistent across letters and figures.
The italics are expressive without becoming cursive, maintaining disciplined letterforms and a steady baseline. Pointed joins and tapered strokes give a precise, engraved feel, while the spacing reads slightly generous, helping the light weight stay readable in continuous text.
