A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to fuller verticals, with tapered terminals and a lively diagonal stress that gives curves a carved, energetic feel. Capitals are stately and relatively upright in structure while still leaning, with open counters and pointed wedge-like entry/exit strokes. The lowercase shows compact proportions and smooth connecting rhythm, with single-storey forms where expected and distinctive angled terminals that reinforce the handwritten influence.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis, intros, pull quotes, or refined headings. It also fits formal invitations, cultural institutions, and premium packaging where a classic, literary voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying elegance and authority without feeling rigid. Its sharp contrast and italic motion add a sense of sophistication and momentum, suggesting classic book typography, cultured branding, and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge, balancing readability with expressive stroke modulation. It aims to deliver a traditional, trustworthy texture while providing enough italic character to stand on its own in display and emphasis roles.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in personality, with varied widths and noticeable italic shaping that keeps numerals from feeling mechanical. Spacing appears moderately generous for an italic, helping maintain clarity in short passages, while the strong contrast favors print-like settings and larger sizes where hairlines can stay crisp.
