A delicate italic serif with slender hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms are narrowly drawn with generous interior space, producing an open, airy texture in text. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with modest modulation and tapered terminals; capitals show graceful, sweeping forms (notably in C, G, Q) and a restrained, formal rhythm. Lowercase has a light, flowing slant with compact bowls and finely finished joins, keeping word shapes crisp despite the thin strokes.
Well-suited for editorial settings, pull quotes, and book typography where a graceful italic is needed for emphasis. It can also elevate invitations, premium packaging, and branding headlines when used at comfortable sizes and with ample whitespace to preserve its delicate detail.
The overall tone is poised and literary, leaning toward classic bookish elegance rather than display exuberance. Its lightness and italic motion give it a cultured, editorial feel—formal, calm, and slightly romantic.
This design appears intended as a refined, conventional italic companion for text work—prioritizing elegance, smooth reading rhythm, and classic serif proportions while maintaining a light, understated presence.
Numerals follow the same refined construction, with thin strokes and subtle curvature; they read cleanly at larger sizes but may require sufficient size and contrast in reproduction due to the fine detailing. The italic angle is consistent across the alphabet, and spacing appears measured to maintain an even, quiet cadence in continuous text.
