An italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms lean decisively with tapered entry and exit strokes, and bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine hairlines. Curves are generously modeled and slightly dynamic, giving counters a soft, organic feel, while capitals show confident, sculpted shapes with crisp terminals and occasional flourish (notably in forms like Q and J). Spacing appears moderate, with a lively baseline texture that remains coherent in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or flavor. It can also serve display roles in refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic, high-contrast italic is desired at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels classical and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial elegance. Its energetic slant and sharp hairlines add a sense of movement and drama, while the conventional serif structure keeps it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a gently calligraphic finish, balancing readability with a distinct, elegant voice for emphasis and sophisticated typography.
Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with distinctive, slightly calligraphic figures that suit text settings. The lowercase shows a fluid handwritten influence without becoming script-like, making it expressive while still maintaining a traditional text-serif identity.
