A flowing italic with calligraphic construction and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a controlled diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, with sharp terminals and occasional hooked finishes that give letters a lively, handwritten rhythm. Proportions are slightly narrow with open counters, and spacing is even enough for continuous reading while still preserving an expressive, pen-driven cadence. Numerals and capitals follow the same slanted, formal style, maintaining a consistent texture across mixed text.
Well suited for invitations, formal announcements, and event materials where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also performs nicely for editorial pull quotes, chapter openers, and refined branding or packaging accents, especially when paired with a restrained roman companion.
The overall tone is graceful and cultivated, suggesting classic correspondence, bookish sophistication, and editorial polish. Its energetic slant and tapered endings add a subtle flourish, making it feel personal without becoming casual or playful.
The design appears intended to emulate a disciplined calligraphic hand: formal, slanted letterforms with tasteful contrast and pointed terminals, balancing readability with decorative motion. It aims to provide a sophisticated italic presence for both short display lines and comfortable extended settings.
Capitals are prominent and gently dramatic, with curved entry strokes and tapered feet that read well in display sizes. In longer passages the texture remains smooth and airy, though the sharper terminals and rhythmic irregularity make it feel more expressive than a typical text italic.
