A slender italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and an oval, slightly narrow footprint, with smooth, calligraphic curves and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Capitals are graceful and open, while the lowercase leans on flowing entries and exits, producing a continuous rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with thin horizontals and tapered curves that keep figures visually light and agile.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and refined headings. It also fits formal stationery and event materials when paired with a complementary roman for body text, and works effectively for short-to-medium passages where its crisp contrast can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting editorial sophistication and classical refinement. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, conveying a sense of tradition, formality, and quiet confidence.
The design appears intended as a classic text-italic companion with an emphasis on elegance and readability, blending traditional serif structure with a calligraphic slant and carefully tapered detailing to produce a refined, continuous texture in running text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine details create a bright page color that benefits from comfortable sizing and sufficient leading. Curved forms (notably in bowls and diagonals) carry much of the personality, while the restrained serifs keep the texture controlled and consistent across lines.
