This typeface is an italic, high-contrast serif with a calligraphic construction and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a strong thick–thin rhythm, with bracketed serifs and gently modulated curves that suggest broad-nib influence rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are narrow and stately with clean, slanted stress; the Q features a flowing tail, and letters like J and y show subtle swash-like descenders. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with a single-storey a and g, a looped/descending j, and a right-leaning, slightly springy spacing that gives lines a lively texture. Numerals follow the same italic, contrasty logic, reading like old-style figures with elegant curves and pronounced stroke modulation.
It suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a refined italic voice is desired. The calligraphic contrast and subtle flourishes also make it a strong candidate for invitations, certificates, and premium branding elements, especially in short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and formal correspondence. Its slanted, pen-driven movement feels expressive yet controlled, balancing ornament with readability for a distinctly classical, editorial mood.
The font appears designed to deliver a formal italic with visible pen-like modulation—classical in structure, but with enough handwritten nuance to feel personable. Its intent seems to be an elegant, readable display-and-text italic that brings traditional sophistication to contemporary layouts.
The design maintains consistent angle and contrast across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive page color in text. Select letters introduce gentle flourishes (notably in descending strokes), adding personality without turning into a fully decorative script.
