A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedges and a calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with diagonal stress, pairing fine hairlines with sturdier stems while keeping the overall color airy. Capitals are narrow and upright in structure but uniformly inclined, with sharp terminals and neatly tapered serifs. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with long, sweeping ascenders/descenders, a single-storey “a,” and a distinctly looped “g,” contributing to a fluid, handwritten italic texture. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, with open counters and sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or narration. It can also serve for elegant invitations, announcements, and headings that benefit from a traditional, cultivated tone.
The font reads as classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly formal tone. Its italic movement adds a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting editorial polish rather than casual informality.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with a strong calligraphic foundation, prioritizing readability and graceful emphasis in running text while retaining enough sharpness for display accents.
Spacing appears relatively open for an italic, helping counters and joins stay clear in continuous text. The slant is consistent across cases, and the pointed terminals and narrow proportions create a refined, pen-driven sparkle at larger sizes.
