A high-contrast italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic stress and sharply tapered stroke endings that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with crisp terminals and a consistent rightward slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, creating an airy rhythm; round letters show clean, oval forms while diagonals (like V, W, X) are thin and blade-like at the joins. Lowercase details include a single-storey a and g, a lightly hooked f, and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep word shapes flowing without becoming overly ornate.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, essays, and pull quotes where a polished italic voice is needed. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitations when set at display sizes with comfortable tracking, and it works naturally for inline emphasis in more classical serif systems.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with an editorial elegance that suggests careful typesetting and a classical sensibility. Its italic motion adds a sense of speed and sophistication, suitable for conveying emphasis, ceremony, or literary warmth rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic with pronounced contrast and refined, flaring terminals—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a handwritten-derived flow while remaining restrained enough for sustained reading in formal contexts.
The capitals are especially graceful, with long, sweeping curves and refined hairlines that will reward ample size and good contrast on the page. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varying heights and curved forms that blend naturally into text settings.
