An italic serif with a lively rightward slant, smooth curves, and bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and gently swelling stems that keep the texture elegant rather than sharp. Capitals feel formal and slightly narrow with sweeping diagonals, while the lowercase has a fluid, written rhythm; ascenders are tall and the italic forms favor single-story shapes and generous entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved terminals and open counters that read well at text and display sizes.
Works especially well for editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and introductions where an italic voice is needed without losing formality. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and short headlines where the elegant slant and contrast add character.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, projecting a traditional, cultured voice with a touch of flourish. It feels suited to expressive emphasis—confident and sophisticated rather than playful or rugged.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic cadence. The intention appears to be an expressive, high-quality text italic that can carry emphasis in running copy while remaining suitable for sophisticated display moments.
Letterforms maintain a consistent baseline flow and italic momentum, creating a smooth horizontal cadence in paragraphs. Terminals and serifs are clean and pointed, giving the face a crisp finish while preserving a soft, pen-informed character in curves and joins.
