A slanted, high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and swelling main strokes, giving the letterforms a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals that reinforce the italic movement. Capitals feel open and stately with broad curves and controlled entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show a more handwritten flow, including single-storey shapes and pronounced joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and angled stress, with elegant curves and narrow interior counters.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductory text. It can also support formal invitations, certificates, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, calligraphic serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic, formal voice with a touch of humanist warmth. Its energetic italic cadence reads as expressive rather than purely mechanical, making it feel suited to tradition-minded, cultured contexts.
Designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience with an expressive italic character, balancing classic proportions with brisk, pen-like detailing. The intention appears to emphasize elegance and motion through high contrast, bracketed serifs, and a cohesive slanted rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Stroke modulation is strong enough that fine details can become delicate at very small sizes, while at display and comfortable text sizes the sharp serifs and angled stress create a lively, polished texture. Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, contributing to an elegant, continuous flow.
