A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation, with slim hairlines and fuller diagonals, producing an energetic rightward slant and a lively baseline rhythm. Counters are moderately open and proportions feel slightly narrow in the lowercase, while capitals are poised and stately with long, flowing curves. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is desired, such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes. It also fits formal invitations and refined branding applications, particularly for names, headings, and short to medium passages where its contrast and slant can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and literary, combining classical formality with a distinctly handwritten, calligraphic flair. It reads as refined and expressive rather than neutral, lending text a sense of tradition and ceremony.
Likely intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that brings traditional serif structure together with expressive, calligraphic movement. The goal appears to be graceful readability with a distinctly cultured, formal character for editorial and display-accent roles.
The design emphasizes crisp entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals, which heighten sparkle in larger settings. The italic construction is prominent across the set, giving paragraphs a continuous forward motion.
