The design is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered entry and exit strokes and a pronounced rightward angle. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a smooth, pen-like modulation that creates lively rhythm across words. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, while the overall color stays clean and airy due to the thin hairlines and brisk curves.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, books, essays, and long-form reading where italic is used for emphasis or quotation. It also works well for formal invitations, cultural branding, and headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a classic, polished italic voice.
This italic serif conveys a poised, literary tone with a sense of tradition and refinement. The crisp contrast and calligraphic slant add a subtle flourish that feels formal without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears intended as a readable, conventional italic for continuous text, pairing a classic serif structure with energetic calligraphic detailing. Its strong stroke modulation and tapered terminals aim to deliver emphasis and sophistication while maintaining orderly, paragraph-friendly rhythm.
The lowercase shows distinctly italic constructions (single-storey forms and flowing joins), and the numerals follow the same slanted, contrasty style, making figures feel integrated with the text rather than mechanically upright.
