A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and a clear rightward slant. Strokes show tapered entry and exit terminals with bracketed serifs on capitals and a smooth, continuous rhythm through the lowercase. Proportions feel compact and upright in the capitals while the lowercase is more cursive in motion, with long ascenders/descenders and restrained, rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same italic logic with fine hairlines and subtly varying widths, maintaining an even, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, refined packaging, and brand applications that benefit from a classic, graceful tone, especially at text to subheadline sizes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, projecting a traditional, editorial elegance rather than a loud display personality. Its lightness and graceful curves lend a sense of formality, sophistication, and calm.
The design appears intended as a traditional italic companion for serif text typography, prioritizing readability and rhythmic flow while retaining a distinctly calligraphic elegance for emphasis and voice in running copy.
Uppercase forms read crisp and structured, while lowercase letters lean more handwritten in their joins and terminals, giving text a lively, human cadence. The design favors smooth curves and tapered points over blunt endings, which contributes to an airy, refined texture in paragraphs.
