A delicate italic serif with thin, hairline-like strokes and gently flared terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction with a consistent forward slant, soft transitions, and restrained bracketed serifs that taper into sharp points. Capitals are tall and poised with generous internal space, while the lowercase is narrow and flowing, with long ascenders and descenders that give the line a light, open rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined, old-style influenced feel, keeping the overall texture quiet and spacious on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine features where a light italic can add emphasis without heaviness. It also fits invitations, cultural branding, and packaging accents that benefit from a refined, classic tone, especially for short passages, pull quotes, and titling with generous spacing.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, with a quiet elegance that reads as literary and slightly formal. Its lightness and italic movement add a sense of sophistication and tact, lending a polished, editorial voice rather than a loud display presence.
The design appears intended as a graceful, conventional italic serif that prioritizes elegance and readability through careful proportions, restrained serifs, and a calm, open text texture. It aims to provide a sophisticated voice for continuous reading and typographic emphasis rather than bold display impact.
Curves are drawn with smooth, controlled tension and minimal ornamentation, relying on sharp entry/exit strokes and subtle modulation to create character. In text, the spacing and slim strokes produce an airy color that benefits from comfortable sizes and clean printing conditions.
