A very light, right-leaning serif with gently modulated strokes and small, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, oldstyle influence: open, rounded bowls; tapered terminals; and a soft, flowing rhythm that keeps paragraphs airy. Capitals are relatively restrained and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains an even texture with clear differentiation between stems and curves. Numerals echo the same delicate construction, with smooth curves and subtle finishing strokes.
This face is well suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and book or essay typography where an elegant italic texture is desired. It can also work for refined invitations or cultural branding when set at comfortable sizes that preserve its light stroke detail.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, evoking book typography and editorial refinement rather than display flamboyance. Its light color and graceful italic movement feel poetic and formal, suited to voice-driven, narrative settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a refined, oldstyle character—prioritizing an even reading rhythm, graceful modulation, and a quiet, literary tone over bold presence.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and many terminals finish in small hooks or wedges that add liveliness without becoming ornate. Spacing appears comfortable and text holds together smoothly in continuous reading, with a gentle, continuous baseline flow.
