This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and a steady rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, paired with finely shaped, bracketed serifs and tapered entry/exit terminals that keep the outlines crisp at display sizes. Capitals are slightly narrow and sculpted, with sharp apexes and clean joins, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring italic single-storey forms and expressive tails and descenders (notably in g, j, y). Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with open counters and tapered terminals that match the overall texture.
Well-suited for editorial settings where italic voice is needed—subheads, pull quotes, introductions, and emphasis in long-form layouts. It also performs convincingly as a display italic for refined branding, invitations, and cultural or literary headlines where a classic, polished tone is desired.
The tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward editorial and bookish sophistication rather than casual handwriting. Its lively italics add a sense of motion and emphasis, while the disciplined serif structure keeps the voice authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with elevated contrast and calligraphic nuance—balancing classical serif discipline with expressive, emphasis-ready motion for publishing and formal communication.
Spacing and rhythm read consistent across the alphabet, creating a smooth, continuous cursive flow in text. The design’s sharp terminals and strong contrast give it a slightly dramatic sparkle, especially in caps and at larger sizes.
