A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms show gently bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow, with sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes and restrained curves. Proportions are moderately narrow with a steady baseline rhythm, and the overall color stays light and airy in text. Numerals include oldstyle-style figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a traditional, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and refined tone. It also works nicely for invitations, cultural programs, and luxury-leaning branding accents, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than display exuberance. Its lightness and crisp contrast convey formality and finesse, suggesting a classical, literary atmosphere.
Likely designed to provide a classical, high-contrast italic companion for refined text composition, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a traditional typographic feel over rugged durability.
The italic is expressive but controlled, with noticeable slant and clean joins that keep word shapes clear. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp terminals read as especially graceful, while smaller settings will emphasize its gentle, shimmering texture.
