A delicate italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and slender, hairline-like strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals that give the outlines a crisp, calligraphic finish. The uppercase forms feel tall and poised with generous curves (notably in C, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with a single-storey a and flowing entry/exit strokes. Overall rhythm is airy and controlled, with tight sidebearings and a polished, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial settings where a refined italic is needed—subheads, pull quotes, captions, and book or magazine titling. It also fits premium branding and formal stationery where a delicate, classical voice is desirable, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—graceful rather than flashy. Its lightness and smooth italic motion suggest formality, sophistication, and a slightly romantic editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended as a classic text-italic companion that emphasizes elegance and readability through traditional serif construction, restrained contrast, and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Its overall restraint suggests a focus on sophisticated typography for publishing and formal display use.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes; the 2 and 3 are especially calligraphic. The sample text shows a consistent slant and even spacing, producing an understated, premium feel suited to longer lines when set with comfortable leading.
