A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letters show a consistent rightward slant, tapered entry and exit strokes, and small bracketed serifs that feel cut with a pointed pen. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with generous sidebearings, creating an airy rhythm, while rounded forms stay open and smooth. Ascenders are notably tall and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height, supporting a traditional text color at larger reading sizes.
Well suited to magazine features, pull quotes, titles, and book typography where a polished italic voice is needed. It can add a premium, classic tone to branding and packaging, and works effectively for invitations or formal announcements when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, with a distinctly editorial and bookish elegance. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic motion suggest formality and sophistication rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic companion with a refined, high-contrast drawing—balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphic surface. It aims to deliver a traditional literary voice that elevates emphasis, headings, and display text without becoming ornamental.
Uppercase characters read as stately and restrained, while the lowercase adds more movement through curved joins and tapered strokes. Numerals match the text style with delicate hairlines and a classic, slightly calligraphic feel, maintaining visual continuity in mixed typography.
