This is a sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and very fine hairlines. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a lively rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to pointed terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, and joins show a traditional pen-informed rhythm; counters stay open and clean despite the high contrast. The numerals and capitals carry a poised, slightly calligraphic structure that reads best when given room to breathe.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or voice. It can also serve in elegant branding, packaging, and invitations, especially for short-to-medium text where its fine details remain clear.
The overall tone feels polished and literary, with a quiet sense of formality. Its refined contrast and flowing italic movement suggest classic book typography and upscale editorial styling rather than utilitarian UI text.
The font appears designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for conventional reading and sophisticated display, prioritizing graceful movement, sharp finishing, and a cultivated typographic color.
The design leans on delicate details—thin entry/exit strokes, tapered feet, and small finishing flicks—so it benefits from careful spacing and adequate size. In continuous text it creates an animated, forward-moving texture typical of traditional italics.
