This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, hairline serifs and smooth, calligraphic joins. The capitals are stately and moderately wide with flared terminals and crisp bracketed serifs, while the lowercase leans with lively entry and exit strokes and a rhythmic, handwritten-like flow. Curves are generous and open, counters stay clear at text sizes, and the overall texture is bright and airy rather than dense. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and several descending forms that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve in refined invitations or cultural branding where a classic, high-finish serif italic is appropriate.
The tone is polished and literary, with a traditional, cultured feel suited to editorial and bookish settings. Its italic energy reads confident and expressive without becoming decorative, conveying a sense of refinement and authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic underpinning: high-contrast strokes, crisp serifs, and a controlled slant that supports continuous reading while adding a graceful, expressive accent.
Stroke endings are consistently tapered, giving a delicate sparkle along horizontals and terminals. The italic slant is steady across cases, and the design maintains a cohesive rhythm between the more formal capitals and the more fluid lowercase forms.
