A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. The forms show a calligraphic, oblique stress with bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals that sharpen into points on many strokes. Capitals are relatively broad and stable, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry/exit strokes, single-storey a and g, and lively descenders. Overall spacing feels open for an italic, with a smooth, continuous rhythm and strong thick–thin modulation that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultural or academic materials where an italic with clear structure is needed. It works especially well for emphasis, quotations, subheads, and elegant display lines, and can also serve for short-to-medium reading passages when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is formal and polished, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography rather than casual handwriting. Its energetic italic flow adds a sense of urgency and sophistication, making text feel articulate, traditional, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, authoritative italic voice with strong typographic color and refined detailing. It prioritizes classic serif conventions and calligraphic motion to provide emphasis and elegance without becoming ornamental or decorative.
Round letters like o/c/e maintain an oval, slanted axis, and many joins end in small teardrop-like or pointed terminals that reinforce the calligraphic character. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved figures showing elegant modulation and straighter figures staying clean and sharply finished.
