A delicate, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairlines. Serifs are fine and often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while joins and terminals show a calligraphic, slightly pen-cut character. Capitals are restrained and classical, with crisp entry strokes and tapered finishing strokes; round letters keep an oval stress and smooth curves. Lowercase forms are compact and fluid, with a single-story a and g, a slender f, and long, sweeping descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a graceful, text-friendly rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and tapered details remain clear. For longer passages, it works best when given adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its crisp hairlines and flowing italic gestures convey a sense of tradition, formality, and quiet luxury. The style feels suited to refined communication where nuance and elegance matter.
The design appears intended as a classical, text-oriented italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic finish. It emphasizes graceful movement, refined contrast, and traditional serif detailing to provide an elevated typographic color for sophisticated setting.
Spacing reads on the tight-to-moderate side in the sample text, producing a lively, continuous texture typical of italic serifs. The ampersand and curved letters show expressive stroke endings, and the long descenders (notably in g, y, and j) become a defining visual feature in continuous text.
