A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are slender with moderated contrast, and many joins taper into fine terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving as sharp wedge-like flicks that keep the texture light and open. The lowercase shows a gently rolling rhythm with slightly varied widths, giving text a lively, handwritten-inflected movement without becoming decorative.
It performs best in editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—pull quotes, intros, captions, and literary titling. The fine strokes and airy spacing also suit formal stationery and invitations, while longer passages benefit from adequate size and comfortable line spacing to preserve its light texture.
The overall tone feels refined and literary—graceful rather than forceful. Its light color and energetic italic cadence suggest sophistication and a sense of tradition, suited to nuanced, expressive typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with heightened elegance: a readable, classical companion for refined typography, offering expressive emphasis while maintaining a composed, bookish presence.
Capitals are restrained and classical in proportion, with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and crisp finishing strokes that read well at display sizes. Figures appear oldstyle-leaning in character with italic motion and compact forms, matching the text’s understated elegance.
