A delicate serif italic with a gently calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings that broaden subtly at terminals. The strokes are fine and clean with moderate thick–thin modulation, producing a light, airy color on the page. Curves are smooth and open, counters remain generous, and the italic axis is consistent across rounds and diagonals. Serifs read as small wedges and tapers rather than abrupt brackets, and terminals often finish with a slight flick that adds motion without becoming ornate.
This style works well for editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—subheads, pull quotes, introductions, and refined captions. It also suits book and film titling, cultural event materials, invitations, and premium branding where a light, elegant serif italic can add a sense of craft and tradition.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a graceful, contemporary polish. Its lightness and flowing italics convey sophistication and quiet drama, suited to elegant, cultured messaging rather than utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful italic with classical proportions and subtle flared details, balancing calligraphic energy with typographic restraint. It aims for an elevated, polished texture that reads smoothly while still showing a distinctive, hand-influenced stroke logic.
Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with pointed apexes and restrained entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase keeps a rhythmic, handwritten cadence. Numerals are similarly slender and drawn with the same flared, tapered logic, helping them sit harmoniously in text. Spacing appears even and measured, contributing to a smooth reading rhythm at display and larger text sizes.
