A slanted serif with a calligraphic, pen-driven construction and delicate hairlines. Strokes show clear modulation, with crisp tapered terminals and small, bracketed serifs that keep the shapes sharp without feeling mechanical. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, slightly variable letter widths, and the italic forms lean on fluid curves and angled stress—especially visible in the rounded letters and the long, sweeping ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same graceful rhythm, with thin entry/exit strokes and open counters that maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also works effectively for literary titling, pull quotes, and formal materials like programs or invitations where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial polish. Its italic voice feels expressive yet disciplined—more classic book-italic than flamboyant script—bringing a sense of sophistication and gentle motion to the page.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while adding a refined, humanist flourish. Its controlled contrast and crisp serifs aim to deliver a classic publishing feel with enough movement to stand out in editorial typography.
Uppercase forms balance restraint with subtle flourish, while the lowercase shows the most personality through curved joins, pointed terminals, and generous extenders. In running text, the font creates an even, airy texture with distinct word shapes and a refined cadence.
