This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and flowing rightward slant. Strokes transition from hairline entry/exit strokes to fuller main stems, with smooth, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that sharpen into fine points. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, with crisp serifs and curved, brush-like joins, while the lowercase shows a lively, handwritten rhythm—single-storey forms and pronounced, sweeping descenders. Overall spacing and proportions support continuous reading, with a slightly variable, organic width across letters that reinforces the italic movement.
It performs well for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form quotations where an italic voice is needed. It also suits title treatments, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a traditional serif italic with strong contrast and clear, elegant detailing.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and traditional print. Its energetic italic cadence adds a sense of motion and expressiveness, making it feel refined but not rigid—well suited to sophisticated, narrative, or ceremonial settings.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic that brings calligraphic vitality to conventional serif forms, providing a refined companion for emphasis and hierarchy while maintaining readability in continuous settings.
Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast as the letters, reading as integrated rather than mechanically upright. The ampersand is decorative and dynamic, adding a formal, typographic flourish that pairs naturally with the brisk stroke endings and curved serifs.
