An italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation with diagonal stress, giving bowls and curves a sculpted, tapered feel. Capitals are narrow and gently slanted with sharp terminals, while the lowercase is more fluid, with compact counters and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined, tapered logic, producing an overall airy color and lively, connected cadence despite being a non-joining design.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for passages that benefit from an elegant italic voice. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, and refined print materials such as programs or invitations where a classic, cultured texture is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, leaning toward traditional elegance rather than display exuberance. Its slanted, high-contrast rhythm suggests sophistication and formality, with a subtle handwritten warmth that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while delivering a polished, classical tone. Its high-contrast, calligraphic modulation seems aimed at providing an expressive companion for emphasis within text and for sophisticated editorial typography.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, and the design maintains a clean, controlled baseline presence. Pointed joins and tapered terminals add sparkle at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces call for comfortable sizing and line spacing in extended text.
