A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and lively diagonal rhythm. The strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel pen-informed rather than mechanical. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, open counters, and a forward slant that varies subtly by glyph, giving the line a natural, handwritten momentum while remaining clearly typographic.
Well-suited for long-form italics in books and magazines, including emphasis, quotations, and titles where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively in refined branding contexts—such as packaging, invitations, or cultural institutions—when paired with a complementary roman for hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic flourish typical of elegant book and editorial italics. It reads as formal and cultivated, suggesting tradition and polish rather than casual or playful styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a strong nod to calligraphic tradition: expressive enough to add tone and emphasis, but controlled and consistent for sustained text use.
Capital forms are poised and spacious with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows more animated joins and curls that emphasize the italic flow. Numerals share the same contrast and curvature, with lining-style figures that sit comfortably alongside capitals in display settings.
