A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic stress. Strokes move from hairline-thin entry/exit strokes to fuller verticals, with finely tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel sharp but not abrupt. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is fluid, with narrow joins and subtle modulation that reads cleanly in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a graceful italic voice is desired. It can also serve in invitations, boutique branding, and packaging where a polished, classic tone and delicate detailing help establish a premium feel.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial tone—poised and slightly dramatic—balancing classic bookish credibility with an expressive, handwritten energy. Its bright hairlines and sweeping forms add sophistication, making the texture feel airy and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a refined italic serif for text and display settings, prioritizing elegant contrast, smooth calligraphic motion, and a traditional reading texture. It aims to feel timeless and literary while remaining crisp and legible in composed paragraphs.
Lowercase forms show lively, cursive-like movement (notably in letters like a, e, g, and y), while capitals remain dignified with restrained ornament. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, blending naturally into text and reinforcing a cohesive, refined page color.
