A slender italic serif with fluid, calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. The contrast is apparent but restrained, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller downstrokes that keep the texture even. Capitals are wide and open with smooth curves, while the lowercase shows lively cursive movement, including long entry/exit strokes and a single-storey a and g. Serifs appear lightly bracketed and often resolve into tapered or flared terminals, producing a soft, drawn rhythm rather than crisp, mechanical edges.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural materials where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively for invitations, packaging, and brand messaging that benefits from refined, traditional cues. In display sizes it reads graceful and expressive, while in longer text it maintains an even, lightly textured line.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, combining classical bookish familiarity with a subtle handwritten grace. Its slant and tapered endings create a sense of motion and polish, reading as formal yet approachable rather than rigid or austere.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary, readable italic with classical serif roots, using flared endings and gentle modulation to evoke a penned, humanist feel. Its open shapes and measured contrast aim for clarity and continuity in text while preserving a distinctly elegant, expressive cadence.
The numerals are italic and softly shaped, matching the text’s calligraphic stress and keeping a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and 2/3/8) emphasize rounded, flowing transitions, reinforcing the font’s smooth, continuous rhythm.
