A delicate, italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairlines, showing a distinctly calligraphic construction. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and lively entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm fluid. Capitals are narrow and poised with long, sweeping diagonals and subtle flare, while the lowercase is slightly more cursive in feel, with slender ascenders and smooth, looped shapes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted stance, reading as graceful rather than utilitarian.
Works well for editorial settings that want a classic italic voice, such as pull quotes, intros, and sidebars, and it can be effective for book or chapter titling where a refined serif italic is desired. It also suits formal materials like invitations and upscale branding applications, especially when used with generous tracking and plenty of white space.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its graceful slant and sharp contrast give it a polished, upscale presence suited to situations where elegance is more important than rugged neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with a calligraphic backbone—more expressive than a purely mechanical italic, yet still disciplined enough for composed text. It aims to provide an elegant accent voice for sophisticated typography.
Spacing appears airy with a light color on the page, and the strong diagonal stress creates a forward, flowing texture in continuous text. The design favors finesse—thin joins, pointed apexes, and occasional swash-like curves—so it benefits from comfortable sizes and clean printing or high-resolution screens.
