This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from hairline thins to fuller downstrokes, with tapered entries and exits that create a lively, handwritten rhythm while remaining clearly type-structured. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into pointed terminals; many characters show subtle swashes and extended hooks, especially in capitals and numerals. The overall color is crisp and bright on the page, with open counters and a slightly variable, expressive width from glyph to glyph that adds movement in text.
It performs best where italic personality is desirable: headlines, book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and short editorial passages. The strong contrast and decorative terminals can also work well for invitations and formal announcements, especially at medium to large sizes where the fine hairlines and swashes remain clear.
The tone feels traditional and cultured, with an elegant, slightly dramatic flair typical of formal italic typography. Its energetic curves and sharp terminals give it a refined but expressive voice—more theatrical than neutral—well suited to conveying sophistication and ceremony.
The design appears intended to provide a classic text-serif italic with elevated contrast and a more calligraphic, display-leaning presence than a purely utilitarian italic. It aims to deliver elegance and motion through tapered strokes, bracketed serifs, and expressive forms while keeping overall letter structure conventional and readable.
Uppercase forms show prominent italic mannerisms (notably in letters like J, Q, and W) with sweeping strokes and pronounced entry/exit flicks. The numerals echo the same calligraphic logic, including curved shapes and tapered terminals that harmonize with the letters, contributing to a consistent, ornamental texture in display settings.
