A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic strokes and a gently angled axis. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals that reinforce a pen-driven feel. Proportions are moderate with a normal x-height, generous counters, and a fluid, right-leaning rhythm; capitals are relatively narrow and elegant while lowercase shows more movement and variation in stroke joins and entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the italic tone with pronounced modulation and crisp finishing details.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or section openers. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations where its sharp contrast and calligraphic rhythm can read as intentional and elegant.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement without feeling sterile. Its lively, handwritten inflection and warm proportions lend a traditional, cultured voice suited to editorial and bookish settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an old-style, humanist italic through a clean, high-contrast lens, balancing traditional calligraphic construction with a polished, contemporary finish. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and elegant detail while keeping proportions familiar for extended reading contexts.
Diagonal stress and strong thick–thin transitions create sparkle at display sizes, while the slanted forms and tapered terminals add motion in running text. Curved letters show smooth, continuous stroke flow, and the punctuation/diacritics visible in the sample carry the same crisp, angled logic.
