This typeface is an italic serif with very slender hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs. Curves are broad and open, with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous joins that keep the texture light and even. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feeling, while the lowercase shows a consistent forward slant, long ascenders/descenders, and softly tapered terminals that suggest a pen-informed construction without becoming decorative. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and fluid curves, matching the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a graceful italic voice is needed—book interiors, magazines, and refined pull quotes. It can also serve effectively for elegant announcements or invitations and other short-form settings where its light, calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a quiet, editorial sophistication. Its light color and graceful italic movement feel poised and understated rather than loud or flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a distinctly delicate, refined presence—prioritizing smooth word shapes, open counters, and a restrained classicism for sophisticated text and display applications.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and generous interior spaces create an airy line, with italic entry/exit strokes giving words a smooth, connected cadence. The design relies more on proportion and curvature than contrast for character, so it reads as delicate and polished at display sizes.
