An italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a distinctly calligraphic, angled axis. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional flared joins that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are slightly expansive and open, with crisp hairlines in E/F/T and a rounded, generous O/Q; the Q shows a sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are rhythmically cursive without connecting strokes, featuring a single-storey a and g, a slender, hook-like f, and a long-tailed y; numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction with curved bowls and sharp entry strokes.
Best suited to editorial and literary settings where an elegant italic can carry tone—magazine and book headings, pull quotes, titling, and refined packaging. It can also work for short passages or lead-ins where an expressive, classic serif italic is desired without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining a traditional bookish voice with a more animated, handwritten slant. It reads as cultured and expressive, with enough sparkle in the hairlines and terminals to feel editorial and sophisticated rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed as a conventional text-leaning serif italic with elevated contrast and calligraphic detailing, aimed at delivering a refined, classic voice for editorial and display applications while keeping a readable, open texture.
In text, the slant and contrast create a strong diagonal flow, while the wide set and open counters help maintain clarity at display sizes. The lowercase shows noticeable variety in terminal shapes (hooks, teardrops, and fine spurs), contributing to a lively, characterful page color.
