A slender italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with subtle flaring at stroke endings that gives the outlines a carved, slightly pen-drawn character rather than a rigid constructed one. Curves are open and clean (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercases), with modest stroke modulation and crisp entry/exit terminals. The overall color is light and airy, and spacing feels even and measured, supporting continuous reading while preserving a graceful, angled texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with clear rhythm is needed for emphasis, quotes, or captions. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitation work when a classic, cultured voice is desired—especially at medium sizes where the delicate stroke endings remain distinct.
The face reads as polished and literary, with a calm, cultured tone typical of classic book and magazine typography. Its italic slant and tapered finishes add a sense of motion and finesse, leaning more toward sophisticated emphasis than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with contemporary smoothness: readable, composed, and refined, with flared finishing details that add warmth and character without becoming ornamental.
Uppercase forms stay restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence in letters like a, f, g, and y, contributing to an expressive italic flow. Numerals are similarly slender and old-style in spirit, keeping a consistent, refined texture alongside text.
