A delicately drawn italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and a smooth, even rhythm. Strokes are slender with gently bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that often finish in subtle wedges or teardrops. Curves are round and open, with a moderate slant and carefully controlled joins that keep counters clear. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows flowing forms with soft ascenders and descenders and a readable, text-oriented texture.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively in refined branding, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a classic, cultured serif character.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its light touch and graceful movement suggest formality without stiffness, making it feel cultured, calm, and elegant.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a traditional, calligraphy-informed flavor. It aims to provide an elegant, readable italic that brings nuance and sophistication to running text and display settings without becoming ornamental.
The italic is expressive but restrained, favoring smooth transitions and consistent spacing over exaggerated swashes. Numerals follow the same slender, serifed style, integrating neatly with text settings and maintaining a quiet, classical presence.
