A delicate italic serif with an airy color and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Strokes show clear modulation with smooth curves and bracketed serifs, producing a refined, rhythmic texture in text. Proportions feel moderately condensed in places with long ascenders/descenders and generous sidebearings that keep the page tone light. The italic construction reads true and flowing rather than mechanically slanted, with gently sharpened joins and subtle entry/exit strokes that maintain consistent motion across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—books, magazines, essays, and long-form pull quotes—where an italic voice is needed without becoming heavy or ornate. It also works effectively for refined stationery and invitations, subheads, captions, and other typographic moments that benefit from a graceful, high-end serif italic texture.
The overall tone is poised and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and formal correspondence. Its lightness and fluid italic cadence feel graceful and cultivated, with a quiet, classical confidence rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a refined, contemporary finish—prioritizing smooth reading rhythm, controlled contrast, and an elegant cursive flow for emphasis within extended text settings.
Capitals have a measured, inscription-like presence with clean curves and restrained flair, while the lowercase carries the primary movement through tapered strokes and softly hooked terminals. Figures appear similarly light and elegant, suited to running text where numbers should harmonize rather than dominate.
