A high-contrast italic serif with tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The curves show a diagonal, pen-like stress, and the joins are smooth with subtle swelling through the mid-strokes. Capitals are crisp and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase has lively, calligraphic movement with pronounced entry/exit strokes and a gently slanted rhythm. Numerals appear old-style in character with varied widths and distinct thick–thin modulation, matching the text’s flowing texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography and long-form book work where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations. It also fits literary or heritage branding, cultural institutions, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a refined, calligraphic serif texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craft rather than neutrality. Its warm, slightly dramatic italic movement reads as elegant and expressive, lending a sense of refinement and historical continuity.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or pointed-pen calligraphy into a readable, polished italic serif, balancing expressive stroke modulation with consistent spacing and stable proportions for continuous reading.
The italic angle and contrast create strong word shapes and a textured line, especially in mixed-case settings. The forms show intentional irregularity in width and curvature that adds personality without becoming ornate.
