A delicate, high-contrast serif italic with hairline connecting strokes and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, and the overall drawing shows a consistent rightward slant with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical with clean internal spaces, while lowercase uses single-storey structures and flowing joins that keep texture light and open. Numerals and punctuation follow the same thin–thick modulation, giving the set a coherent, polished color on the page.
Well suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, names, or captions, as well as for refined print pieces such as programs and invitations. It can also serve as a display italic for elegant titles when set large, where the contrast and tapering details have room to breathe.
The tone is refined and literary, with a quiet formality typical of bookish italics. Its airy stroke weight and poised movement read as elegant rather than assertive, suggesting sophistication and tradition.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a calligraphic undercurrent, prioritizing clarity and a graceful reading rhythm. Its high contrast and delicate terminals aim to deliver a classic, polished voice for sophisticated typography.
The italic construction emphasizes graceful curves and tapering entry/exit strokes, producing a lively baseline rhythm without becoming flamboyant. In continuous text it maintains an even, bright texture, with the thinnest strokes approaching hairline at larger sizes.
