A delicate italic with hairline strokes and an airy, open texture. The letterforms lean with a steady rightward slant and show crisp, square-ended slab-like serifs and small spur details that give the outlines a chiseled, pen-drawn feel. Curled terminals and occasional looped finishes add movement, especially in the lowercase, while round forms stay clear and lightly drawn. Overall spacing feels generous and the rhythm is lively, with slightly varying glyph widths contributing to a handwritten, editorial cadence.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its fine strokes and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and literary branding. It can also add a formal, personal touch to invitations and packaging, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The tone is elegant and literary, with a subtle whimsy from the curled terminals and looping strokes. It reads as classic and cultivated rather than strict, suggesting a personal, old-world refinement suited to expressive typography.
The design appears intended to merge a slab-serif structure with an italic, calligraphic sensibility—combining crisp, squared serifs with graceful loops to create an expressive yet composed reading experience.
Uppercase forms appear more restrained and formal, while lowercase introduces more flourish (notably in letters with descenders and entry strokes), creating a pleasant contrast between headline presence and text personality. Numerals follow the same light, serifed logic and maintain a graceful, slightly calligraphic flow.
