A delicate italic serif with slender proportions and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear tapering and modest thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and soft, bracketed serifs that often finish in small wedge-like terminals. The rhythm is continuous and slightly flowing rather than rigid, with rounded counters and long, sweeping curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q; the Q features an extended, elegant tail. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure but add distinctive italic mannerisms such as a single-storey a and g, looped descenders on j and y, and compact, angled shoulders on n and r.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or titling. It can also support refined invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a slender, elegant serif voice—especially at moderate to larger sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its italic movement and fine detailing give it a graceful, somewhat old-world character suited to tasteful, cultured settings.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a touch of calligraphic finesse, prioritizing elegance, economy of space, and a smooth, continuous text rhythm for literary and formal applications.
Capitals are notably narrow and high-contrast in feel, with a slightly inscribed look created by sharp apexes (A, V, W) and fine entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic stress, with open, curved forms and light terminals that keep figures visually consistent with text.
