A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into finely shaped, bracketed serifs and flared terminals, with a consistent rightward slant and crisp joins. Counters are relatively open for the style, while letterforms remain compact and neatly spaced, producing an airy, polished texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm with slender forms and graceful curves.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also perform effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and refined packaging accents, especially in short-to-medium passages or display-like text settings where contrast and rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking classic book typography and sophisticated editorial design. Its sharp contrast and tapered endings create a sense of refinement and formality, while the italic movement adds a poised, expressive cadence.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, print-oriented italic with a calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing graceful movement, high refinement, and a controlled, formal texture for sophisticated reading and emphasis.
Capital forms show restrained, classical proportions and clean diagonals, while lowercase features a single-storey “a,” a gently descending “g,” and compact bowls that maintain a steady rhythm across lines. The italic emphasis is strong enough to read as intentionally expressive rather than merely a slanted roman.
