A delicate italic serif with lightly bracketed, slab-like serifs and subtly rounded terminals. Strokes are smooth and even, with modest modulation and a calm, consistent rhythm. Proportions feel classic and slightly narrow, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create a graceful vertical sweep. The letterforms show humanist shaping—open counters, soft curves, and italic constructions that read more like a drawn hand than a rigid geometric build.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, pull quotes, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with clarity and polish. It also fits refined branding, packaging accents, event stationery, and invitations—especially for short passages, headings, and emphasized text where a graceful, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and refined, with an understated, cultured feel. Its lightness and flowing italic posture give it a poetic, intimate voice suited to sophisticated and calm messaging rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic with gentle, slab-influenced serifs and a smooth, readable texture—balancing classic book-typographic proportions with a softer, more personable finish.
Caps have a crisp, editorial presence, while the lowercase carries the stronger personality through cursive-like joins and tapered entries/exits. Numerals are similarly slender and elegant, keeping the same measured tempo as the text. The font’s light build benefits from generous spacing and works best when allowed to breathe.
