A delicate italic serif with narrow, lightly bracketed serifs and a smoothly modulated stroke that stays crisp rather than blunt. The letterforms lean with a consistent, calm slant and show generous internal counters, giving the face an open, breathable rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, with pointed entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that add a subtle handwritten influence without becoming script-like. Capitals are stately and slightly elongated, while lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with restrained joins and clear, tidy punctuation-like details in the dots and terminals.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for introductions, pull quotes, captions, and other places where an italic voice is needed with a classical feel. It also fits formal stationery and invitation work, and can support refined branding when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its light touch and poised slant feel polite and literary rather than dramatic, lending a sense of refinement and quiet authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and a composed page color while adding a touch of calligraphic elegance. It aims to provide a graceful companion voice for extended reading and formal tone-setting.
Figures appear old-style in spirit, with noticeable slant and varied shapes that blend smoothly into running text. The font’s spacing and stroke delicacy favor an even, continuous texture, with just enough sharpness in the terminals to keep the page lively.
