This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes move from thick, rounded stems into fine hairlines, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that stay crisp at the ends. The capitals are stately and slightly wide, with open counters and gently flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase shows lively entry and exit strokes and compact, flowing joins. Numerals match the italic rhythm, with curving forms and thin finishing strokes that maintain the same contrast and stress as the letters.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an italic is used for emphasis or voice. The pronounced contrast and fine details also make it a strong choice for invitations, formal announcements, and elegant branding or packaging, especially at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, conveying traditional refinement rather than modern minimalism. Its italic energy reads as expressive and graceful, suited to emphasizing phrases with a classic, bookish elegance.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that brings classical, calligraphic character to continuous reading while remaining disciplined and consistent. It prioritizes elegant contrast, crisp terminals, and an expressive slanted rhythm for sophisticated typographic color.
The design maintains consistent diagonal stress and a steady baseline rhythm across both text and character set, with thin hairlines that create a sparkling texture at larger sizes. Curved letters and diagonals (like S, C, V, W, and X) show especially sharp tapering, reinforcing a pen-influenced feel.
