A delicate italic serif with high refinement and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are slender with clear thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs that read as hairline in places. Curves are smooth and open, with moderately generous spacing and a slightly expansive set that keeps the texture airy. The italic construction shows a consistent forward slant, with long ascenders and gently tapered terminals that give the letterforms a continuous, flowing line.
Best suited to editorial and book contexts where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles. It can also serve well in formal invitations, cultural institutions, and premium branding applications that benefit from an airy, classical serif voice, especially at comfortable text-to-display sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a poised, classical sensibility. Its lightness and italic movement suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a quiet, cultured voice rather than a loud or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes elegance and readability through open forms, restrained contrast, and careful serif finishing. Its light color and disciplined slant suggest a role as a sophisticated companion for long-form typography and tasteful display settings.
Capitals feel stately and slightly inscribed in character, while lowercase forms maintain a steady italic cadence; the single-storey “a” and the looped descenders reinforce the traditional, calligraphic influence. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights, aligning naturally with running text.
