An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a steady rightward lean. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, with wedge-like serifs and subtly irregular, pen-influenced terminals that keep the texture lively. Proportions feel traditional and moderately narrow in the lowercase, with open counters and a rhythmic, flowing baseline that reads distinctly “written” rather than strictly constructed.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine styling, pull quotes, and typographic accents where an elegant italic is desired. It also suits invitations, cultural branding, and headings that benefit from a classic, calligraphic serif presence. For long passages, it will be most effective as an italic companion or for shorter text blocks where its contrast and motion can remain comfortable.
This face conveys a literary, cultivated tone with a hint of historical character. The calligraphic slant and crisp contrast give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice that feels suited to classic or editorial contexts rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to bring a traditional, bookish italic flavor into display and emphasis settings, using strong contrast and calligraphic cues to add personality. Its forms prioritize expressive rhythm and historical resonance over a rigid, geometric regularity.
The uppercase shows graceful, slightly varied widths and sharp serifed finishes, while the lowercase maintains a consistent forward motion with distinctive, angular joins and lively terminals. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, producing a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
