This serif italic has a slender, tapered stroke structure with gently bracketed serifs and a consistently forward-leaning axis. Curves are open and slightly elongated, with smooth transitions into hairline terminals that give the design a light, airy color on the page. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are narrow and poised, while lowercase forms show a moderate x-height and fluid, handwritten-like joins. The numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with graceful curves and fine endings that match the text weight.
It is well suited for editorial and book typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter, especially at comfortable reading sizes. The refined shapes can also support elegant printed pieces such as invitations, programs, or cultural branding where a light, classic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a quiet sophistication that reads as classical rather than decorative. Its crisp italics and delicate finishing convey formality and polish while still feeling expressive and human.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional, readable serif italic with a calligraphic undertone—prioritizing graceful movement, fine detailing, and a calm page texture for extended text and typographic emphasis.
The design maintains an even rhythm across the alphabet, relying on subtle stroke modulation and tapered terminals for character rather than heavy contrast. The italic slant is assertive enough to be clearly italic in running text, but not so steep that it becomes flamboyant.
