A delicate italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and fine, tapering serifs. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing diagonal stress in rounded shapes and sharp, clean terminals. Proportions feel compact and vertical, with crisp counters and a slightly lively baseline due to the italic movement. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and restrained detailing, producing a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, leads, pull quotes, and refined display lines. It can also support book and magazine settings at comfortable sizes, and works nicely for formal stationery or branding applications that benefit from a classic, polished tone.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, with a quiet formality that reads as editorial and traditional rather than loud or decorative. Its thin hairlines and fluid italic cadence give it a sophisticated, literary feel suited to elegant typographic settings.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a refined, high-precision finish—prioritizing elegant contrast, clear word shapes, and a smooth reading rhythm for sophisticated print-like layouts.
Curves are drawn with controlled tension—noticeably in S, C, and g—while joins and serifs stay subtle and sharp, helping paragraphs look smooth and continuous. The italic slant is steady and purposeful, emphasizing forward motion without becoming overly cursive.
