A delicate italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and fine hairline strokes. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, and the overall construction feels drawn rather than strictly mechanical, with gentle curvature and tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with ample internal space, giving an open, breathable texture in text. The rhythm is smooth and continuous, with modest stroke modulation and a consistent, graceful baseline flow across both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a light, graceful italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, or refined headings. It can also serve in book typography for chapter openers and typographic contrast, and in formal stationery or invitation work where a subtle, cultivated tone is desired.
The font conveys a poised, literary elegance—quietly formal without feeling heavy or ornate. Its lightness and fluent italic motion suggest sophistication and a handwritten sensitivity, making it feel polished, tasteful, and reserved.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a refined, calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing elegance, smooth texture, and understated contrast for polished typographic use.
Capitals read as understated and classical, while the lowercase emphasizes movement through curved joins and tapered endings. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined, lightly calligraphic tone, supporting a cohesive appearance in mixed-content settings.
