A slanted serif with delicate hairline strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. The forms are open and spacious, with generous internal counters and a smooth, continuous rhythm across words. Uppercase proportions feel slightly classical, with tapered diagonals and restrained terminals, while the lowercase shows a calligraphic influence in its curved joins and gently modulated strokes. Numerals follow the same light, elegant construction, with flowing curves and consistent italic angle.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or extended passages. It also fits formal communications such as invitations, programs, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif presence with a light typographic color.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a quiet sophistication rather than bold display energy. Its airy texture and graceful slant suggest tradition and formality, while remaining approachable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional text serif italic with a graceful, calligraphic slant and a light footprint on the page. Emphasis is placed on readability through open shapes and consistent rhythm, while preserving a classic, cultured character.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even forward motion in lines of text. Round letters stay smooth and open, and the serifs remain understated, helping maintain a clean, polished page color at larger text sizes.
