A delicate italic serif with a strongly calligraphic construction and an airy, high-waisted silhouette. Strokes are thin and smoothly tapered with clear thick–thin modeling, while wedge-like, lightly bracketed serifs and pointed terminals keep the forms crisp rather than rounded. The italics show a consistent rightward slant and flowing entry/exit strokes; curves are open and gently tensioned, and capitals are narrow and poised with restrained flourish. Numerals are light and elegant, with oldstyle-like curves and fine hairline joins that match the text rhythm.
This font suits editorial settings where an elegant italic presence is desired—book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and refined branding. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially when set with ample size and comfortable leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, leaning toward literary sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and italic cadence suggest a formal, editorial voice with a subtle handwritten elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with calligraphic nuance—prioritizing grace, continuity, and a light, premium texture for sophisticated typography.
Spacing appears generous for the weight, supporting a calm, continuous reading line in the sample text. The italic forms favor long, smooth joins and slender diagonals, giving the texture a refined, slightly “scripted” flow without becoming decorative.
