A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation with smooth thick–thin transitions and tapered terminals, creating a light, airy texture on the page. Capitals are slightly narrow and formal with crisp entry strokes, while the lowercase uses rounded bowls, a single-storey a and g, and long, sweeping ascenders/descenders that emphasize a continuous rightward motion. Numerals are similarly refined, with open curves and subtle finishing details that keep the rhythm consistent in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for passages set in italic such as emphasis, quotes, or introductions. It can also work effectively in refined collateral—programs, invitations, and cultural materials—where a classical, literary voice is desired.
The overall tone feels cultured and traditional, with a quiet elegance suited to editorial and literary settings. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds warmth and sophistication without becoming ornamental or flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—prioritizing elegance, smooth text rhythm, and traditional proportions for professional publishing contexts.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even, smooth color and a coherent italic cadence, with generous counters and soft joins that support comfortable reading. The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis clearly while remaining controlled for longer passages.
