A delicate italic serif with fine hairlines, crisp serifs, and a gently modulated stroke that reads as high-contrast in longer text. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and sharp, clean joins. Capitals are narrow and sweeping, with an especially expressive Q tail and a lightly arched top on forms like T. Lowercase is compact and fluid, pairing a modest x-height with long ascenders/descenders and subtle entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light and continuous.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary titling where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins. It also fits formal materials such as invitations and programs, and can support premium brand applications when used at comfortable sizes with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is poised and literary, conveying a quiet sense of sophistication rather than display bravura. Its thin, polished construction and controlled italic movement suggest formality, care, and a classic editorial voice.
Likely designed as a refined italic companion for sophisticated text settings, emphasizing graceful movement, high-contrast detailing, and a classic serif vocabulary. The intent appears to balance readability with an elevated, ornamental touch in capitals and select terminals.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep counters open at small sizes, while the italic angle and pointed details create a lively diagonal flow across words. Numerals echo the same refinement, with slender strokes and slight curls that feel harmonized with the italic text.
