A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and a calligraphic stroke logic. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and teardrop-like finishing on many lowercase forms. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a traditional way, with varied curves and an organic feel in joins and transitions, while capitals remain clear and formal. Counters are moderately open, ascenders are prominent, and the overall texture reads smooth and continuous in text, with slender hairlines against darker stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It also fits refined applications like invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes, especially when a classic serif tone with added movement is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary elegance—poised and expressive rather than strictly utilitarian. Its strong italic movement and crisp contrast suggest a cultivated, editorial tone suited to sophisticated, traditional layouts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with strong calligraphic heritage, balancing readability with a graceful, expressive slant. Its contrast, bracketed serifs, and lively letterforms aim to provide an elegant companion for editorial composition and formal display accents.
Lowercase forms show distinctly cursive italic construction (notably in a, f, g, y), and numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast model for consistent color in mixed text. The italic capitals are assertive and slightly dramatic, helping headings stand out without abandoning a bookish, traditional voice.
