A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines that sharpen into fine bracketed serifs. The outlines feel drawn with a flexible pen: stems swell and taper smoothly, curves are taut, and terminals often finish in pointed, slightly hooked forms. Proportions are moderately narrow with a lively, varied rhythm; capitals are stately and open while lowercase forms are compact with long ascending strokes and energetic descenders. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and delicate joins that favor grace over rigidity.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, pull quotes, and cultured branding where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and formal correspondence, particularly when set with generous leading and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, blending classical bookish authority with a gentle sense of motion. It reads as refined and slightly dramatic, suited to content that benefits from elegance rather than blunt clarity.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—prioritizing elegance, motion, and typographic color appropriate for refined reading and display contexts.
Stroke joins stay clean and controlled even where forms become intricate (notably in the ampersand and the more curved lowercase). The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the thin details suggest it will look best when given adequate size and breathing room.
