A delicate italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, showing calligraphic influence in the curved joins and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, and many characters end in sharp wedges or subtle flicks that reinforce a lively baseline movement. Round forms are airy and open, while capitals stay poised and formal with restrained, sculpted curves.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for italic roles such as emphasis, pull quotes, captions, and introductions. It can also serve as a refined display italic for headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials where an elegant, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and craft rather than neutrality. Its flowing italic gestures and high-contrast sparkle give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to cultured, editorial contexts.
The font appears designed as a classic, readable italic serif with a clear emphasis on calligraphic motion and high-contrast elegance. Its intention is to provide an expressive but disciplined texture that elevates long-form reading and editorial presentation while retaining a formal, timeless character.
The design shows expressive details such as a swash-like Q tail, a lively italic k and v/w structures, and numerals that share the same sharp, calligraphic finishing. Spacing appears comfortable in the text sample, with a consistent diagonal stress that keeps lines animated without becoming overly decorative.
