A slender italic serif with smoothly modulated strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are delicate and tapered, with bracketed joins that keep the texture soft and continuous. Curves are rounded and open, counters remain clear, and the overall color on the page is light and airy with a calm, even rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and long-form articles where an italic is needed for emphasis or tone. It also fits cultured branding and printed materials like invitations, programs, and captions where a refined, traditional italic serif can add sophistication without becoming decorative.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a poised, slightly formal demeanor. The italic flow adds a sense of motion and refinement, reading as elegant rather than casual.
The design appears intended for setting continuous reading with an italic voice that stays controlled and conventional. Its restrained detailing and measured contrast prioritize clarity and an even typographic texture while still offering a graceful, traditional character.
The italic forms show a gentle, consistent slope across capitals and lowercase, with understated entry/exit terminals that help maintain a smooth line. Numerals appear similarly styled and readable, matching the light, elegant texture of the letters.
