A delicate italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and lively diagonal stress. Strokes are slender with clearly bracketed, tapered serifs and pointed terminals that give letters a sharp, polished finish. Curves are generous and slightly oval, while joins stay clean and controlled, producing a consistent, high-end text rhythm. The italic slant is prominent but measured, with smooth entry/exit strokes in lowercase and a graceful, slightly formal set of capitals.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine features where a graceful italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended reading. It also fits upscale branding, invitations, and cultural materials that benefit from a traditional yet expressive serif texture.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, like traditional book typography with an added touch of flourish. Its lightness and crisp terminals create an airy, elegant impression suited to sophisticated editorial voices rather than blunt utility.
The design intent reads as a classic text serif interpreted through a refined italic drawing, prioritizing elegance, continuity of rhythm, and a polished printed feel. It aims to deliver a cultured typographic color with enough sharpness and motion to stand out in display-sized passages and emphasized text.
Spacing appears open enough to keep the italic from clumping, helping long lines remain readable while retaining a distinctly slanted, expressive texture. Numerals follow the same italic logic with slender forms and clear, classical proportions.
