A delicate italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp triangular terminals and hairline-like finishing strokes that give the letterforms an airy, polished texture. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly narrow in feel, with elegant entry and exit strokes on many lowercase forms. Overall rhythm is flowing and continuous, with clear thick–thin modulation and a consistent, lightly structured texture in text.
Well-suited for book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where a graceful italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or captions. It can also support formal stationery and invitation work, and performs best where its fine terminals and lively slant can be appreciated.
The font conveys a cultured, literary tone—poised and elegant rather than loud. Its italic movement and crisp terminals suggest formality and tradition, with a gentle, expressive refinement suited to sophisticated editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a classic text companion italic: a refined, traditionally grounded serif with enough calligraphic motion to provide elegant emphasis while maintaining disciplined proportions for extended reading.
Uppercase forms read stately and classical, while the lowercase leans more cursive, creating a strong italic voice for emphasis. Numerals appear similarly slanted and refined, matching the text color with thin, tapering details that favor clarity at display and comfortable reading sizes.
