A delicate italic serif with a noticeably right-leaning posture and slim, tapered strokes. Serifs are fine and subtly bracketed, with calligraphic modulation that creates a smooth, continuous rhythm through curves and joins. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall texture stays light and even, with ascenders and descenders that add a graceful vertical sweep. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, high-contrast pen-like logic, keeping a consistent, polished silhouette.
Well suited for long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—pull quotes, introductions, captions, and emphasis within book or magazine layouts. It can also work for formal stationery and invitation-style materials when a light, elegant serif presence is desired.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition, formality, and a quiet sense of luxury. Its lightness and fluid italics lend a gentle, expressive voice suited to sophisticated editorial settings rather than loud display.
Likely designed to provide a graceful, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography, emphasizing refinement, smooth rhythm, and understated sophistication in text settings.
Spacing appears carefully balanced to maintain an even color in running text, with slender entry/exit strokes that help connect letterforms visually without becoming script-like. The italic forms feel purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted, giving the face a composed, classical cadence.
