A delicate italic serif with flowing, calligraphic modulation and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, and many strokes end in subtly pointed or sheared finishes that reinforce the forward slant. Proportions are lean and vertically oriented, with open counters and an overall light color on the page. The lowercase shows traditional oldstyle tendencies—an angled stress in rounded forms and a descending, looped ‘g’—while capitals remain elegant and restrained with crisp entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics, including emphasis, introductions, and captions where a refined tone is desired. It also works effectively for magazine typography, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs when set with generous leading.
The tone is cultured and literary, suggesting classical book typography and polished editorial settings. Its gentle stroke modulation and graceful italics communicate sophistication and a quiet formality rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic that provides elegant emphasis while staying disciplined and readable. Its narrow, tapered construction and classic serif detailing aim for a traditional, high-end typographic voice.
The italic rhythm is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a smooth line of text with clear word-shapes. Spacing appears measured and even, and the design favors finesse over heaviness, making the italic character the primary expressive feature.
