A very light italic serif with softly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel more tapered than blunt. Strokes show a calm diagonal stress with moderate contrast: hairlines stay fine while key stems and curves thicken subtly at terminals. The forms are open and spacious, with rounded bowls, smooth joins, and a consistent rightward slant. Capitals are elegant and restrained, while lowercase features a single-storey “g” with a rounded ear, a narrow, flowing “f,” and a long-tailed “y,” all contributing to a rhythmic, calligraphic texture.
Well suited to editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, standfirsts, introductions, and other emphasis within serif text. It also fits literary and cultural materials such as book interiors, poetry, programs, and formal invitations where a light, refined tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting refinement rather than display theatrics. Its lightness and smooth italic motion give it an airy, cultivated character that reads as classic and sophisticated.
The design appears intended as a graceful italic for continuous reading and typographic emphasis, combining classical serif structure with subtly flared terminals to keep the page color light and polished.
Numerals follow the same slender, slanted logic with graceful curves and delicate terminals, keeping the texture even in running text. The spacing feels generous, and the tapered endings help maintain clarity despite the fine hairlines.
