A slender italic text serif with a clear, consistent rightward slant and delicate bracketed serifs. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thin hairlines and sharper entry/exit terminals that give letters a crisp, drawn quality. The proportions are relatively compact, with tidy counters and a smooth rhythm in continuous text; round forms stay open while diagonals and curves taper into fine points. Ascenders are prominent and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable build with traditional serif structures and an overall restrained, polished texture.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading contexts where an italic is used for emphasis, titles, or quotations. It should perform especially well in magazines, books, and refined brand collateral where a light, graceful italic can add contrast to a roman companion while maintaining a clean, traditional text texture.
The tone is cultured and understated, conveying a quiet sophistication associated with editorial typography and classic book italics. Its light, precise construction feels formal without becoming ornamental, suggesting a thoughtful, literary voice suited to nuanced emphasis.
The design appears intended as a classic text-italic: a readable, conventional serif structure enlivened by calligraphic tapering and fine detailing. It prioritizes elegance and typographic nuance for emphasis within continuous text rather than bold display impact.
The italic behavior is strongly calligraphic in its terminals and joins, producing a lively baseline flow in sentences. Numerals appear similarly inclined and refined, matching the text color and delicacy of the letters for cohesive inline use.
