A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a crisp, calligraphic stroke model. Serifs are finely tapered and bracketed, with sharp terminals and slender hairlines that set up a strong thick–thin rhythm. Uppercase forms feel slightly expansive with open counters, while lowercase shows flowing, cursive-like construction with curved entry/exit strokes and compact joins. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing firm vertical stress with delicate hairline details for a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, introductions, and other emphasized text where an italic voice is desired. It can work effectively for book typography and literary titling, and also for refined printed materials such as invitations or programs where a formal, classic tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of emphasis and rhetoric, while the sharp finishing and contrast keep it elegant rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic underpinning, balancing readability with expressive emphasis. Its contrast, tapered serifs, and flowing lowercase suggest a focus on elegant text color and a confident, traditional voice for editorial and publishing contexts.
In the sample text the face produces a lively, sparkling line due to thin hairlines and pointed terminals, making spacing and rhythm feel airy at display sizes. Some letterforms show slightly individualized widths and shapes, giving the texture a subtly organic, handwriting-informed quality while remaining clearly typographic.
