A delicate, slanted serif with finely tapered strokes and sharply cut, wedge-like serifs. The design shows smooth, calligraphic modulation, with narrow hairlines and slightly fuller curves that create a crisp, luminous texture on the page. Capitals are tall and composed with restrained flare at terminals, while the lowercase is notably fluid, with long, sweeping ascenders/descenders and an italic construction that reads as drawn rather than mechanically skewed. Counters are open and rounded, and the overall rhythm is graceful, with a gentle forward motion and carefully controlled spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and refined brand collateral—where a graceful, traditional serif tone is desired.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—quietly formal and editorial, with an understated sense of tradition. Its lightness and flowing italic forms feel polished and expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting refinement and clarity rather than bold emphasis.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while adding a distinctly calligraphic, refined character. It aims to provide a cultured, classic typographic voice for editorial and literary settings, balancing delicate detail with consistent structure.
Letterforms show a consistent diagonal stress and tidy, sharp finishing details, giving small features (like terminals and serifs) a crisp presence. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender forms and subtle curvature that keeps them harmonious with text settings.
