A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs that feel finely bracketed rather than blocky. The letterforms are tall and relatively compact, with flowing, calligraphic construction and tapered terminals that create a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay open, and the overall color remains airy due to the delicate horizontals and thin connecting strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine settings where an elegant italic can add emphasis without feeling decorative. It also fits invitations, cultural programs, and select branding applications that benefit from a refined, classical typographic character.
The typeface conveys a poised, literary elegance with a traditional, bookish tone. Its italic motion and sharp detailing suggest formality and sophistication, suited to settings where a graceful, cultivated voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with an expressive italic voice—balancing classical proportions with calligraphy-informed movement for tasteful emphasis in text and display settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more handwritten influence, especially in the looping descenders and gently swept entry strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slender presence, maintaining a consistent, classical texture in running text.
