A delicate italic serif with slender, tapering strokes and finely bracketed serifs that often finish in sharp, beak-like terminals. The forms show a steady rightward slant and a smooth, pen-influenced modulation, with narrow joins and crisp entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light and open. Uppercase shapes feel formal and measured, while the lowercase is more flowing, with a single-storey a and g and long, descending forms that add rhythm. Numerals are similarly slender and slightly calligraphic, aligning with the text’s light, continuous movement.
It suits editorial and book contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or refined captions. The light texture and sharp detailing also make it a good fit for tasteful branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations and stationery, especially at moderate sizes where its fine terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and literary, projecting a quiet sophistication rather than display flamboyance. It reads as graceful and slightly historic, suitable for content that aims to feel cultivated and editorial.
The design appears intended as a refined text italic that balances classical serif structure with a subtle calligraphic touch. Its emphasis on tapered strokes, crisp terminals, and an even, elegant rhythm suggests a focus on sophisticated reading texture and a polished typographic voice.
The italic construction relies on pointed terminals and compact counters, producing an airy color in paragraphs. Ascenders and descenders are pronounced enough to create an expressive line without becoming ornate, and the punctuation and figures maintain the same fine, tapered finish as the letters.
