A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and bracketed serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The italic construction leans smoothly with a calligraphic rhythm, showing strong thick–thin modulation and rounded bowls that narrow into pointed terminals. Lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height and lively, angled stress; several letters show gently cupped serifs and subtle swash-like shaping in strokes and tails. Numerals appear slanted as well, with oldstyle figures (notably the descending 9) and flowing curves that match the text’s pen-driven feel.
Well suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined brand communications where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations or programs when a classic serif italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, conveying a literary, editorial sophistication rather than a utilitarian voice. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of flourish and ceremony while staying restrained enough to feel professional and established.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic cadence, aiming for elegance and typographic authority in continuous text as well as in display emphasis.
The design relies on pronounced hairlines and tight joins, creating a crisp sparkle in text and a strong emphasis contrast in larger settings. Curved letters and diagonals carry most of the expressiveness, while spacing appears balanced for continuous reading in the provided sample.
