A high-contrast serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and pronounced modulation from thick verticals to fine hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a generally rightward slant that is consistent across capitals and lowercase. The lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals, while capitals remain stately with crisp, sculpted curves and sharp apexes. Overall spacing feels moderately open with a rhythmic, slightly variable texture typical of text-oriented italics.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section intros while remaining comfortable at reading sizes. It also works effectively for cultural branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with a touch of flourish.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—elegant and slightly dramatic, with an old-world warmth. Its italic movement adds energy and sophistication, suggesting tradition, authority, and editorial polish rather than a purely neutral voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with calligraphic character. It aims to provide a refined, traditional impression in continuous text while offering enough distinctive movement and contrast to feel expressive in display-like lines.
Figures follow the same contrast and italic stress as the letters, with clear, traditional forms and prominent curves (notably in 2, 3, 5, and 9). The italic forms are expressive but controlled, maintaining a cohesive color in paragraphs while still showing distinctive details at terminals and joins.
