A very delicate italic serif with long, flowing extenders and a noticeably right-leaning axis. Strokes are slender with crisp hairlines and gently swelling joins, creating a lively rhythm without feeling overly decorative. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and sharp, well-defined entry/exit strokes that give the outlines a clean, incisive finish. The overall texture is light and open, with generous counters and a poised, slightly formal cadence that reads smoothly in continuous text.
Well suited for long-form italics in books and editorial layouts, as well as pull quotes, captions, and refined magazine typography. It can also serve effectively in elegant titles and formal collateral where a light, sophisticated voice is needed, especially at comfortable text and display sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking the feel of classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its light touch and calligraphic lean convey sophistication and restraint, making it feel more cultured than casual. The overall impression is graceful and composed, with a hint of old-world elegance.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a distinctly refined presence—prioritizing graceful motion, sharp finishing details, and an even typographic color appropriate for traditional text settings.
The numerals and capitals follow the same understated, refined construction, maintaining a consistent italic rhythm across the set. Diagonals and curves look carefully balanced to avoid brittleness at this light weight, and the spacing supports a calm, even flow in sentence settings.
