A very slender serif italic with long, flowing curves and a light, pen-like rhythm. Strokes remain consistently thin with only subtle swelling, while serifs appear as fine, tapering wedges and hairline feet rather than heavy brackets. The capitals are tall and poised with generous internal space, and the lowercase shows looping, cursive-influenced forms with high ascenders and softly rounded bowls. Numerals and punctuation match the same light, drawn quality, giving the whole design a continuous, graceful texture across lines of text.
Well-suited for editorial settings where a graceful italic voice is needed, such as magazine features, book titling, and pull quotes. It also fits formal applications like invitations and refined branding, especially at larger sizes where the hairline details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, leaning toward literary and editorial elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its thin strokes and sweeping italic movement suggest formality, delicacy, and a sense of cultured understatement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading voice filtered through an elegant italic, emphasizing lightness, poise, and calligraphic motion. Its consistent thinness and carefully tapered serifs prioritize sophistication and visual finesse over ruggedness or dense text color.
In the text sample, the spacing reads open and even, helping the hairline strokes maintain clarity despite their delicacy. The italic angle is steady and moderate, and many joins and terminals feel intentionally sharpened, adding a crisp, engraved character to curves and diagonals.
