A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, combining calligraphic motion with formal text structure. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals that sharpen into wedge-like finishes on many strokes. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with a slightly narrow, forward-leaning rhythm and modest extenders that keep the texture even. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with open forms and delicate entry/exit strokes that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a continuous, elegant texture. It also fits formal invitations, cultural programs, and literary titles where refined contrast and motion help set a premium tone.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional craftsmanship. Its lively slant and fine detailing add a graceful, expressive air without becoming ornamental or theatrical.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic cadence, optimized for elegant reading and tasteful display work. It balances traditional serif conventions with a sharper, more energetic stroke finish to keep the texture bright and articulate.
Stroke joins and counters stay clean at display sizes, while the very fine hairlines and pointed terminals suggest it will look best with enough size or print resolution to preserve detail. The letterforms maintain a consistent diagonal stress that gives paragraphs a smooth, continuous flow.
