A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and an energetic, handwritten-like rhythm. Stems and hairlines show clear thick–thin modulation, with crisp terminals and finely tapered serifs that often feel lightly bracketed rather than blunt. Proportions are relatively narrow with lively, varied character widths; curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, and entry/exit strokes create a continuous, flowing texture in text. Capitals are steeply inclined and sculpted, while lowercase forms emphasize fluid joins, teardrop-like details, and elegant ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or refined long-form passages at comfortable sizes. It also fits upscale branding, invitations, and cultural materials that benefit from a classic, expressive serif with a sophisticated tone.
The font conveys a cultivated, literary tone—polished and poised, with a sense of tradition and discretion. Its italic movement adds a personal, expressive quality without becoming casual, making it feel appropriate for premium and editorial contexts.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classic readability with a more calligraphic, expressive gesture. The design appears aimed at providing a graceful, high-end texture in continuous reading while retaining enough structure for professional editorial use.
In text, the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright, sparkling page color, with distinctive italic shapes and a slightly calligraphic cadence. Figures appear italic as well, matching the slant and maintaining the same sharp, refined detailing.
