A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a smooth, pen-informed rhythm, with bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that sharpen into fine points on many strokes. Capitals are relatively tall and open, with generous internal space, while lowercase forms keep an even, readable x-height and long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and curved forms that feel light on the baseline.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book typography, and other long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or narrative tone. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitations where a formal, classic italic impression is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its flowing italic motion and fine detailing add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast text italic that balances elegance with legibility. Its consistent slant, controlled modulation, and restrained detailing suggest a focus on refined reading texture and a cultivated, classic typographic voice.
Curves are handled with an elegant, continuous stroke flow, and several glyphs show subtly calligraphic joins and entry strokes that enhance line-to-line rhythm in text. The spacing appears comfortable in running copy, supporting a smooth texture despite the delicate hairlines.
