A delicate italic serif with tapered, softly bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are slender and smoothly modulated, with hairline terminals and gently flared ends that give the outlines a calligraphic lift. The rhythm is open and flowing, with generous counters and a light, continuous texture in text. Uppercase forms feel formal and poised, while the lowercase shows cursive-like movement in letters such as a, e, f, and y; numerals are similarly graceful, with thin joins and subtle curls.
Well suited to editorial design where an elegant italic voice is needed—magazine features, book jackets, section openers, and pull quotes. It can also serve formal applications like invitations or certificates, and as a sophisticated accent paired with a sturdier roman for longer passages.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its light touch and graceful movement convey sophistication and restraint rather than boldness, lending a cultured, classic atmosphere to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, refined italic with calligraphic nuance—prioritizing graceful motion, delicate detailing, and an elevated typographic color appropriate for polished, traditional layouts.
The italic construction reads as intentionally drawn (not merely slanted), with lively entry/exit strokes and distinctive hooked or teardrop-like terminals in several lowercase forms. The thin hairlines and fine serifs create a crisp, airy presence that benefits from comfortable sizing and clear spacing.
