This typeface is a slanted serif with a light, crisp color and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep joins and endings sharp rather than blunt. The curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q are smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thin and cleanly drawn. Lowercase forms show a traditional, oldstyle construction—noticeable in the two-storey a, the angled, looped e, and the long, slightly curved descenders on g, j, and y—creating a lively, handwritten rhythm without becoming ornate.
It performs best in editorial and book-like contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or elegant short passages. The delicate strokes and graceful slant also make it a good choice for invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging where a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a classical editorial feel. Its lightness and controlled italic motion suggest sophistication and formality, suitable for settings that want a quiet sense of craft rather than bold display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes graceful movement, classical proportions, and a light, polished texture for reading-oriented typography.
Capitals are relatively tall and stately with ample internal space, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a flowing baseline. Numerals are slender and elegant, matching the text’s delicate texture and reinforcing a bookish, refined impression.
