A refined italic serif with crisp hairlines and rounded, swelling joins that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a consistent forward slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Counters are open and softly modeled, while ascenders rise cleanly above the x-height and descenders extend with graceful curves, giving the line a buoyant, handwritten-influenced texture without becoming ornamental.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, titles, pull quotes, and introductory matter. It also fits formal communication such as invitations and programs, and works effectively for short to medium-length passages where a refined, traditional italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, with a distinctly bookish, old-world polish. Its fluid strokes and sharp finishing details convey sophistication and care, lending a sense of ceremony to short phrases while still reading as a conventional text italic rather than a display script.
The design appears intended as a classic text companion italic: expressive enough to differentiate emphasis and add elegance, yet controlled in proportions and detailing to remain readable and consistent in continuous composition.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in stance, pairing well with the more animated lowercase. The italic construction is consistent, and the numerals share the same contrast and tapering, making them blend naturally in running text and captions.
