A delicate italic serif with slender strokes and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show an overall calligraphic construction, with smooth, continuous curves and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light on the page. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with rounded forms that stay open and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with gentle curves and subtle modulation that matches the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, literary publishing, essays, and refined long-form passages where an italic voice is needed. It can also support tasteful display applications such as invitations, fashion or lifestyle branding, and pull quotes, where its lightness and elegant slant can be used to convey sophistication.
The tone is poised and cultured, suggesting editorial polish and a classic literary voice. Its pronounced italic flow adds a sense of movement and sophistication, making text feel more expressive without becoming decorative.
Likely designed as a graceful italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing a calm reading rhythm and a polished, classic tone. The intent appears to balance traditional italic calligraphy with a clean, modern restraint for versatile editorial use.
The design leans on pointed, well-defined terminals and graceful diagonals (notably in letters like A, V, W, and Y), producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. In paragraph settings, the light color and clean spacing create an airy, understated texture that favors clarity over heaviness.
