A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. The serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with hairline terminals that stay crisp at larger sizes. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, and the slanted rhythm is smooth and continuous across capitals and lowercase. Lowercase forms are compact with a restrained x-height and lively ascenders/descenders, while figures follow the same italic, high-contrast construction for a cohesive texture.
This style works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or display. It also suits refined branding, invitations, and short passages where contrast and grace are more important than rugged small-size durability.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a formal, editorial elegance rather than a casual handwritten feel. Its airy contrast and poised slant suggest tradition and refinement, suited to sophisticated messaging and classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic companion for traditional text typography, providing a fluent, calligraphic accent while keeping a disciplined, serifed structure. It prioritizes elegance, rhythm, and a refined page color in larger text and display use.
Capitals show a restrained, classical stance with subtle calligraphic tension, and the font maintains a consistent diagonal stress throughout. The italics are clearly designed rather than simply slanted, with distinctive cursive-like shaping in letters such as a, f, g, and y.
