A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller, gently swelling main strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a calligraphic, pen-driven feel—particularly in the entry and exit strokes and the pointed, angled terminals. The uppercase is stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows lively cursive construction with a single-story a, a looping g, and a long, expressive f. Overall spacing feels measured and text-oriented, with a smooth diagonal rhythm typical of an editorial italic.
Well-suited to book and editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, names, or captions. It can also serve effectively in formal invitations and refined display lines when a classic, flowing voice is desired without becoming overly decorative.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—formal without feeling rigid. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest tradition, restraint, and a slightly romantic, human touch appropriate for refined communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-centric serif italic that balances readability with a graceful, pen-informed character. It prioritizes elegant emphasis and a cultured tone while keeping proportions and spacing compatible with continuous reading.
Figures appear text-friendly and italicized to match the letterforms, maintaining the same contrast pattern and angled stress. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the rhythm in running text stays even while preserving distinctive, calligraphic details at joins and terminals.
