A right-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often resolve into wedge-like points, giving strokes a crisp, chiseled finish. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic rhythm and a slightly forward, energetic flow; capitals feel stately while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively low x-height and long, expressive ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing and color read airy and bright, with delicate hairlines contrasted against strong main stems.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book or chapter titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery when used at larger sizes or with generous spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic bookish sophistication and editorial elegance. Its brisk italic movement adds a sense of motion and confidence, leaning toward cultured, high-end presentation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely intended as a refined, calligraphy-informed serif italic for display and editorial emphasis, prioritizing graceful motion, high contrast, and a traditional typographic flavor.
Figures and capitals show strong contrast and a distinctly italic construction, with several forms favoring sharp entry/exit strokes over blunt terminals. The design maintains a consistent calligraphic angle across the set, which helps large sizes feel cohesive and fluid.
