An italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a smooth, right-leaning axis. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with crisp terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderately tall ascenders and descenders and a compact, rhythmic lowercase that maintains clear counters. The numerals are italic and oldstyle-leaning in feel, echoing the same contrast and sweeping entry/exit strokes for a cohesive texture.
This face performs well for extended reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where italic is used prominently for emphasis or voice. It also suits refined short-form settings such as invitations, quotes, captions, pull quotes, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic serif italic tone.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, projecting a quiet formality rather than loud display. Its flowing italics and sharp finishing details give it a refined, editorial voice suited to classic, well-established contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes a polished reading texture while retaining the expressive qualities of a calligraphic model. It aims to deliver elegant emphasis and sophisticated typographic color across paragraphs and headings alike.
Letterforms show consistent slanted stress and smooth curvature, producing an even line color despite the high contrast. The italic construction is expressive without becoming swashy, balancing grace with readability in continuous text.
