A delicate italic serif with fine, tapered strokes and gently bracketed serifs that read as lightly calligraphic rather than rigidly constructed. Curves are open and rounded, with long ascenders and descenders and a noticeably slanted, flowing rhythm across lines. Letterforms favor graceful, narrow joins and modest terminals, producing an overall airy texture; numerals share the same thin, sweeping construction and slightly cursive feel.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for long-form passages, pull quotes, introductions, or titling with a refined feel. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and cultural or fashion-oriented branding where a light, elegant typographic texture is desired.
The tone is cultured and graceful, leaning toward editorial sophistication and a quiet, literary elegance. Its lightness and continuous italic motion suggest formality and tact rather than punchy emphasis.
Likely intended as a classic, bookish italic that prioritizes grace and readability through restrained contrast, open counters, and a consistent slanted rhythm. The design aims to provide a sophisticated italic tone that feels traditional yet light on the page.
In text, the slant and slender hairlines create a shimmering, high-refinement color that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous leading. The design’s cursive italic structure is especially apparent in the lowercase, where entry/exit strokes and looped forms contribute to a handwritten cadence.
