A delicate italic serif with a forward-leaning, calligraphic rhythm and finely tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with slender entry and exit strokes that emphasize motion, especially in lowercase. Counters are open and forms are slightly expanded, giving the face an airy texture in text. Curves and joins stay smooth and controlled, while capitals maintain a formal, inscriptional presence without feeling heavy.
It works well for book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, or emphasis within a serif text system. The refined, open texture also suits elegant stationery and formal invitations, and it can serve in headings when a graceful, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, conveying a sense of traditional elegance rather than display flamboyance. Its lightness and flowing italic movement feel cultured and slightly romantic, well suited to sophisticated editorial atmospheres.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a poised, calligraphy-informed structure, aiming to deliver a tasteful, readable italic that adds elegance without overpowering the page.
The italic is expressive but disciplined: swashes are minimal, and the character comes more from tapered terminals and the consistent slant than from exaggerated flourishes. Numerals follow the same light, italicized treatment, keeping the color even when mixing text and figures.
