A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes are tapered with clear thick–thin modulation, giving a crisp, sparkling texture without feeling rigid. The capitals are slightly swashy and open, while the lowercase shows a gentle rightward slant, narrow joins, and looping forms in letters like g, y, and z. Spacing feels generous and the overall rhythm is light and continuous, producing an even, graceful line in text.
Well suited to editorial and book applications where a graceful italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, or emphasis within a serif text setting. It can also serve in formal stationery and invitations, and for literary titles where an elegant, traditional feel is desired.
The tone is cultured and elegant, with a distinctly literary, old-world polish. Its airy color and cursive movement suggest refinement and formality, lending a sense of sophistication rather than blunt practicality.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion for refined reading and display moments, emphasizing smooth pen-like motion, tasteful contrast, and a light, polished page color.
Figures and punctuation follow the same italic, high-finesse style, with slender forms and smooth curves that keep the texture consistent across mixed content. The design reads best when allowed some space, where the tapered terminals and subtle serif shaping can remain distinct.
