A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered hairline serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with gently curved stems, angled stress in round shapes, and crisp terminals that stay sharp rather than blunt. Spacing is measured and even, and the overall rhythm feels smooth and continuous in text, with a consistent rightward slant and carefully controlled joins and curves.
Well suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, and subheads. It also fits book interiors and literary packaging where a refined, classical texture is desired, and can work for invitations or formal communications when set with ample size and leading.
The tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth. Its slender, calligraphic italic flavor gives it a poised, formal voice that reads as premium and traditional.
The design appears intended as a refined text italic that provides strong contrast and a graceful, traditional rhythm for extended reading and typographic emphasis. Its restrained proportions and crisp detailing aim for a sophisticated, premium look without becoming overly decorative.
Uppercase forms feel stately and restrained, while the lowercase shows lively italic features such as single-storey a and g and fluid entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and narrow proportions, maintaining a cohesive, upscale texture alongside text.
