A delicate italic serif with crisp, lightly modulated strokes and compact bracketed serifs. The slant is consistent and moderate, with smooth entry/exit strokes that give a calligraphic rhythm without becoming decorative. Proportions are balanced: capitals are upright in structure but follow the italic angle, while the lowercase shows clear, open counters and tapered terminals that stay clean at text sizes. Numerals appear lining and similarly slanted, keeping the overall texture even and calm.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and other editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or secondary text. It can also work for refined display lines—such as invitations or classical-themed titles—when set with generous spacing and not pushed too small.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, evoking classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its lightness and steady italic flow suggest elegance and restraint rather than emphasis or flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif italic that prioritizes clarity and a graceful, traditional cadence. Its controlled contrast and restrained detailing aim to provide an elegant italic companion for long-form composition and editorial typography.
Letterforms maintain a steady baseline and spacing, producing an even typographic color. The italic construction reads as a true text italic (not an oblique), with noticeable curvature and tapered joins that add softness to the page while retaining sharp details in the serifs.
