A very delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and gently tapered terminals. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, and the forms keep an even, controlled rhythm despite the pronounced slant. Proportions are relatively narrow and verticals stay clean, while rounded letters maintain open counters and smooth curves. Numerals match the text color with similarly fine construction, giving the set a consistent, understated texture.
This font works best where an elegant italic is desired: editorial typography, literary titling, pull quotes, and refined short-form text. It can also suit invitations and high-end branding applications where a light, graceful serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, with a soft, bookish sophistication. Its light presence feels calm and polished rather than assertive, lending a refined, editorial voice to text.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a notably light touch—capturing traditional serif conventions while emphasizing finesse, openness, and a smooth typographic flow.
The italic construction reads strongly across both caps and lowercase, creating a continuous forward motion that suits flowing text. The light stroke weight produces a bright page color and benefits from generous spacing and comfortable sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
