A refined italic serif with clearly calligraphic construction and strong stroke modulation. Stems and diagonals taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, while curves show crisp hairline joins and a slightly lively, handwritten rhythm. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and a measured, bookish spacing; capitals are stately and compact, and lowercase forms lean smoothly with open counters and gently flared terminals. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated logic, with delicate hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Well suited to editorial typography, literary layouts, and book interior work where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or long-form reading. It can also serve formal materials—programs, invitations, and refined branding—where a traditional, elegant serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and motion, reading as elegant rather than casual.
The font appears intended as a conventional italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic influence, balancing readability with a graceful, high-contrast texture for refined typographic emphasis.
The design relies on thin joins and sharp terminals, so it reads most confidently at text-to-display sizes where the hairlines can remain clear. The italic angle is consistent across cases, producing an even diagonal flow in continuous setting.
