A delicate italic serif with a broad, open set and noticeably generous sidebearings. Strokes are smooth and continuous with moderate thick–thin modulation, and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly calligraphic points. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a soft, conventional rhythm rather than sharp, geometric construction. The italic structure is consistent across cases, with rounded forms kept open and counters maintained for readability despite the light build.
This style suits long-form reading and editorial settings where a light, elegant italic is desired—such as book typography, magazine features, introductions, pull quotes, and poetry. It can also work for refined branding accents when used at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone feels literary and refined, with an elegant, slightly old-world flavor suited to composed, formal typography. Its lightness and flowing italic give it a gentle, expressive voice without becoming decorative or overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes an even reading rhythm, open counters, and a calm typographic color while adding a touch of calligraphic grace for emphasis and contrast in editorial composition.
Uppercase forms read as stately and restrained, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and a single-storey italic ‘a’. Numerals appear similarly light and classical, matching the text color and maintaining an even, unobtrusive presence in running text.
