A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the silhouette crisp without feeling rigid. The rhythm is lively and slightly cursive in flow, with open counters and a smooth, continuous diagonal stress that reads cleanly in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italicized, pen-driven logic, giving the set a consistent, cohesive texture in text.
It performs well for book and editorial italics, pull quotes, and refined titling where an elegant slanted serif is desired. It can also support formal materials such as programs, invitations, and other print-forward applications that benefit from a classical tone.
The font conveys a polished, old-world tone—cultured and literary rather than casual. Its italic angle and tapered details suggest formality and motion, lending a sense of sophistication suited to editorial and ceremonial contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—prioritizing graceful movement, traditional proportions, and consistent pen-like modulation for polished text setting.
Capital forms feel composed and stately while the lowercase is more fluid, producing an appealing contrast between structure and movement. In paragraphs, the letterforms create a gently undulating texture, with clear word shapes and a traditional, bookish color.
