This is an italic serif with a calligraphic construction and subtly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, and the serifs appear tapered and bracketed rather than slabby. Curves are smooth and continuous, with lively entry/exit strokes and pointed joins that add crispness to letters like V, W, and Y. The lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with open counters and a gently flowing baseline that reads cleanly in text despite the pronounced slant.
Well-suited for long-form editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quotations. It also fits high-end invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional yet energetic serif italic with clear rhythm and polished detail.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial settings. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds warmth and a sense of craft, while the controlled contrast and restrained detailing keep it dignified rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a distinctly pen-influenced cadence and flared finishing, balancing elegance with legibility. Its controlled contrast and open forms suggest a focus on refined text setting rather than display-only ornamentation.
Capitals are relatively narrow and airy with generous interior space, while several glyphs show distinctive italic traits such as a single-storey “a” and flowing “f” and “g” forms. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing sharp diagonals with rounded bowls for a cohesive, refined texture across lines of text.
