This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thick vertical and diagonal stems taper into very fine hairlines, and the curves show clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, often finishing in pointed, wedge-like terminals that reinforce the forward motion. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the round forms, with generous counters and a smooth, continuous rhythm across lines. The italic is substantive rather than cursive, with controlled entry/exit strokes and a consistent slant that keeps text color even despite the thin hairlines.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry real weight—magazine features, book typography for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. At larger sizes it becomes especially graceful for invitations, cultural branding, and headline or subhead applications where contrast and slant can provide character without overwhelming the page.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a classic, bookish sophistication. Its crisp hairlines and poised italic cadence suggest formality and refinement more than casual handwriting, making it feel appropriate for cultured, editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a carefully drawn, calligraphic slant—aimed at delivering a classic reading experience while adding a refined, expressive italic color for emphasis and display moments.
Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while lowercase letters feature lively italic details such as looped descenders and tapered terminals that add sparkle in longer text. Numerals match the italic voice, mixing strong main strokes with delicate finishes, which contributes to a refined, traditional texture.
