A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress and lively rhythm, with gently flared terminals and smooth entry/exit strokes that keep counters open. Uppercase shapes feel slightly expansive with confident curves, while lowercase features a modest x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and italic-specific constructions (single-storey forms and flowing joins) that reinforce continuous motion. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and compact, legible interiors.
Well suited for long-form editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where an italic is used for emphasis, citations, or foreign terms. It also performs strongly in pull quotes, subheads, and refined headlines where a classical, high-contrast italic can add hierarchy and elegance.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial polish. Its italic voice reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, balancing formality with a subtle handwritten warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that delivers a classical reading texture while adding expressive, calligraphic movement for emphasis and display moments within editorial systems.
Stroke endings are sharply finished yet not brittle, and the spacing in text appears even and well controlled for an italic, supporting smooth word shapes. The design emphasizes clear differentiation between characters through distinct silhouettes and generous internal whitespace.
