A slender italic serif with flowing, right-leaning construction and bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. Strokes show a clear but restrained thick–thin rhythm, with long ascenders and descenders that give the face an airy vertical cadence. Curves are smooth and continuous, counters stay open, and joins feel calligraphic rather than mechanical. Capitals are narrow and poised, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with delicate entry/exit strokes and slightly asymmetric stress.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or for an entire typographic palette. It can also serve formal materials—programs, invitations, and cultural branding—especially where a refined, traditional serif impression is desired.
The overall tone is cultivated and traditional, suggesting bookish sophistication and a measured, formal voice. Its italic energy reads as graceful and expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a sense of polish and quiet authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic text serif with a calligraphic backbone: light in color, rhythmically consistent, and optimized for graceful continuous reading rather than display impact.
In text, the face keeps a consistent slant and spacing that produces a light, shimmering line. Numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and tapered endings, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
