A delicate italic serif with thin hairlines and gently modulated strokes, giving the forms an airy, high-waisted feel. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes and crisp, wedge-like terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp or brittle. Bowls and counters are open and smooth, while the italic construction shows a consistent rightward slant and a fluid, pen-informed rhythm. Uppercase proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in stance, and the lowercase maintains a readable, evenly paced line with modest ascenders and descenders.
Works well for editorial typography, book interior text, and magazine features where a light italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also fits refined branding and packaging copy when used at comfortable sizes with ample spacing to preserve its delicate detailing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its lightness and flowing italic motion convey sophistication and restraint, suited to settings where a calm, cultured voice is desired rather than bold emphasis.
Likely intended as a conventional text companion italic that delivers classical readability with a subtle calligraphic cadence. The design balances elegance and clarity, aiming for a quiet, high-quality texture in continuous reading while remaining expressive enough for typographic emphasis.
Numerals follow the same graceful, lightly modulated construction and appear designed to sit comfortably in running text. The italic ‘f’ and ‘j’ show pronounced descenders, and the ‘g’ uses a looped, double-storey structure, reinforcing a classic text-italic character.
