A delicate italic serif with tapered strokes and subtly bracketed serifs that keep the outlines crisp without feeling mechanical. The letterforms are moderately narrow with generous internal whitespace, giving lines a light, open texture. Terminals often finish in sharp, angled cuts, and the curves show a controlled, calligraphic sweep—especially in rounded capitals and the lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined rhythm, with slender forms and graceful curves that match the text face.
Well-suited for editorial and book settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, names, or section openers. It can also serve for literary titles, refined invitations, and other short-to-medium texts where a graceful, traditional italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional editorial typography. Its lightness and slanted motion add a sense of discretion and formality, suitable for understated elegance rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that prioritizes smooth reading rhythm and a restrained, calligraphic elegance, complementing conventional serif typography in editorial and publishing contexts.
Capitals present a classical, inscription-like calm with smooth bowls and restrained flourish, while the lowercase adds liveliness through italic entry/exit strokes and slightly varied widths. Spacing appears even and unforced in the paragraph sample, producing a continuous, flowing texture typical of reading italics.
