A delicate italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes are slim and smoothly modulated, with crisp hairlines and gently swelling curves that give the letters a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms are restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows more personality through angled terminals, looping descenders, and flowing joins. Numerals follow the same light, tapered logic, reading cleanly and consistently alongside the text.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italics are prominent—book interiors, magazines, essays, and pull quotes—especially at text and subhead sizes. It can also serve elegant display roles in invitations, menus, and restrained branding where a traditional, polished voice is needed.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its soft modulation and graceful italics convey sophistication and a quiet, cultured warmth rather than boldness or utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a graceful, slightly calligraphic flavor, prioritizing smooth reading rhythm and classic proportion over sharp, modern minimalism. Its lightness and poised detailing suggest use as an accompanying italic for emphasis and contrast within longer-form typography.
Spacing appears open enough for continuous reading, and the italic angle is strong, creating forward motion in paragraphs. Round letters maintain smooth, even curvature, while details like the italic single-storey "a" and the long, curved descenders in letters such as "g" and "y" add a distinctly humanist texture.
