This italic serif shows a steep rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction with strong thick–thin modulation. Hairline serifs and terminals stay sharp and clean, while curves transition into stems with minimal bracketing, giving the shapes a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, with long, tapering entry and exit strokes in letters like A, J, Q, and R. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and uses flowing, slightly asymmetric bowls; letterforms such as a, e, g, and y display lively strokes and delicate finishing flicks. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable variation in widths and pronounced italic motion that matches the text rhythm.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes where an elegant italic is desired. It can also work for formal branding and invitations, especially in headlines or short passages where the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward traditional bookish elegance rather than casual handwriting. Its animated italic sweep adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for contexts that benefit from a classic, upscale voice.
The design appears intended as a refined, classic italic for display and editorial typography, emphasizing calligraphic motion, crisp detailing, and a dignified, literary texture in text.
In running text, the font creates a smooth diagonal cadence with bright interior counters and fine hairlines that emphasize contrast. The italic forms are expressive without becoming overly ornate, balancing readability with a distinctive, stylish character.
