A delicate serif italic with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The letters show a steady, moderately contrasty rhythm with soft curves and restrained terminals rather than sharp, high-fashion endings. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while the lowercase has an easy, flowing slant and traditional proportions; counters are open and the spacing reads even in continuous text. Figures appear text-oriented, with slim shapes and classic proportions that sit comfortably alongside the italic letterforms.
It performs best in book and editorial contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and introductory matter. The refined capitals also suit literary titling, formal invitations, and branded collateral that benefits from a traditional, understated elegance.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than display drama. Its light touch and smooth italic movement give it a calm, elegant presence suited to cultured, traditional settings.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: graceful and readable, with enough contrast and calligraphic nuance to feel premium while maintaining a stable, continuous reading texture.
The italic angle is consistent across the alphabet, and the serifs remain understated, helping paragraphs keep a cohesive texture. Curved letters (like C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth, continuous bowls, reinforcing a classic, book-oriented color on the page.
