A slender italic serif with long, flowing letterforms and a consistently right-leaning posture. Strokes are finely tapered with crisp bracketed serifs and subtle, calligraphic modulation that gives curves a smooth, polished rhythm. Capitals are tall and relatively narrow, with sharp apexes and restrained ornament, while lowercase forms show graceful entries/exits, compact counters, and a controlled, slightly lively baseline flow. Numerals match the text color with similarly narrow proportions and delicate terminals, keeping the overall texture light and even.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or refined display lines. It can also work for invitations and upscale branding when set at moderate sizes with comfortable tracking to preserve its light, delicate texture.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting sophistication without feeling ornate. Its airy color and poised slant convey elegance and a sense of traditional polish, suited to cultured, editorial messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic reading experience with a refined, contemporary cleanliness—balancing traditional serif detailing with a light, graceful presence for polished typography.
The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than an oblique: several letters exhibit distinct italic forms and tapered terminals, and the joins/curves maintain a consistent, pen-informed logic. In continuous text the spacing appears measured and calm, producing a smooth horizontal rhythm with minimal visual noise.
