A delicate italic serif with a light, crisp stroke and gently modulated contrast. The design leans on calligraphic construction: curves swell subtly into tapered joins, and terminals often finish in fine, sharp points. Serifs are small and bracketed, keeping the texture clean while preserving a traditional book-face skeleton. Spacing is open and even, with a smooth, forward rhythm; the overall color stays pale and controlled, aided by slender stems and careful tapering in diagonals and curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined long-form passages. Its light, graceful texture also fits formal print pieces such as invitations and programs, as well as literary materials like poetry and essays where a delicate tone is desirable.
The tone is poised and cultured, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its airy stroke and measured italic movement give it a refined, editorial feel—more graceful than exuberant, and more classical than trendy.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a distinctly calligraphic finish—an expressive companion for text typography that adds elegance while maintaining a controlled, conventional serif structure.
Uppercase forms show restrained, traditional proportions with an italic lean that remains legible at text sizes, while the lowercase introduces more cursive nuance (notably in the single-storey shapes and looped descenders). Numerals follow the same light, tapered logic, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian. Overall consistency is strong: stroke endings, serif treatment, and slant align to create a cohesive, continuous texture in paragraphs.
