A delicate italic serif with long, gently curved strokes and crisp hairline serifs. The design shows a clear calligraphic slant with smooth entry/exit strokes, tapered terminals, and moderate thick–thin modulation that stays restrained rather than dramatic. Uppercase forms are tall and open with generous interior space, while lowercase letters are narrow and flowing, with single-storey constructions where expected in italic and an overall light, lifted rhythm. Numerals match the texty feel, with slender outlines and slightly old-style energy in their curves.
It performs best in short to medium text where an elegant italic voice is desired—editorial pull quotes, book interiors for emphasis, poetry, and refined packaging or brand accents. It can also suit invitations and formal announcements, especially at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The font conveys a poised, bookish elegance—formal without feeling rigid. Its lightness and italic motion create a sense of sophistication and quiet luxury, suited to refined editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with a refined, contemporary finish—prioritizing graceful rhythm, legibility in continuous text, and a polished tone suitable for literary and premium applications.
The italic angle is consistent and gives lines a strong forward movement, while the spacing remains airy and breathable. Pointed joins, slim cross-strokes, and extended curves (notably in letters with descenders and diagonals) emphasize a graceful, handwritten influence within a conventional serif framework.
