A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals that often finish in thin, pointed wedges. Curves show diagonal stress and a lively thick–thin rhythm, while capitals maintain a relatively formal, classical structure with controlled modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and fluid, with narrow joins and gently swelling bowls; descenders are long and sweeping, adding motion and elegance. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated logic with open counters and delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial applications such as magazine features, book typography, and refined headlines where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve in formal invitations, quotes, and pull-quote styling, especially when set at sizes that allow the fine hairlines and sharp terminals to remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and classic editorial styling. Its energetic slant and sharp hairlines give it a sophisticated, slightly dramatic presence that reads as formal and cultivated rather than casual.
This font appears designed to provide a classic, bookish italic with strong calligraphic influence and a crisp, high-contrast finish. The intent is to deliver an expressive yet conventional serif italic that feels authoritative and elegant in extended reading and display settings.
The design’s thin connecting strokes and crisp hairlines create a bright texture that benefits from generous sizing and comfortable line spacing. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, producing a cohesive, forward-moving rhythm in continuous text.
