A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic stroke rhythm. Serifs are small and mostly bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and forms agile. Proportions are compact and text-like, with slightly irregular, hand-influenced curves that add softness to the otherwise crisp, high-contrast construction. Numerals and capitals share the same italic energy, with narrow set widths and a consistent, editorial texture across lines.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also work for invitations and premium packaging when used at display sizes that let the high-contrast details read cleanly.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, combining refinement with a warm, human touch. Its italic movement and sharp contrast give it a sense of elegance and momentum, while the subtle calligraphic inflection keeps it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, calligraphy-informed italic with strong contrast and a compact, text-ready footprint. It aims to balance classical serif conventions with a touch of handwritten liveliness for elegant, expressive typography.
The slant is steady and noticeable, helping long strings of text flow, while the high contrast creates strong sparkle at larger sizes. Details like tapered terminals and slightly varied curves contribute to a less-mechanical, more hand-drawn impression.
