A high-contrast serif italic with tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The forms lean with a smooth, consistent rightward slant and use bracketed serifs that sharpen into fine hairlines at terminals. Capitals are elegant and slightly expansive with sweeping entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows lively curves, compact counters, and distinctive italic construction in letters like a, e, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same angled, drawn rhythm, with open shapes and delicate joins that keep the overall color light despite substantial main stems.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography (especially for emphasis and quoted material), and pull quotes where an expressive italic is desired. It also fits formal communication—programs, invitations, and refined branding—where classical serif details and a graceful slant support an elevated tone.
The font conveys a traditional, literary sophistication—poised and slightly dramatic—evoking printed editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its pronounced italics and crisp hairlines add a sense of movement and ceremony rather than a neutral, utilitarian tone.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif italic that prioritizes elegant reading rhythm and classical proportions, offering a fluent emphasis style for continuous text and polished display moments.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping words remain legible in running text while still preserving a rhythmic, handwritten cadence. The italic ampersand is notably decorative, and several glyphs show extended terminals that will become more expressive at larger sizes.
