A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairlines, showing clear calligraphic influence in its sweeping joins and tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a smooth transition from stems into feet and a generally open, airy texture. Capitals feel slightly narrow and poised, while the lowercase uses flowing, elliptical forms with a lively rhythm and modest extenders. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style sensibility, maintaining consistent contrast and curvature across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and other long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations and programs, particularly when paired with a sturdier roman companion for hierarchy.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, suggesting tradition, polish, and a quiet sense of luxury. Its motion and contrast give it a sophisticated, literary voice rather than a utilitarian one, making text feel more crafted and expressive.
The design appears intended as a classic, expressive italic for conventional text typography—prioritizing graceful movement, high refinement, and a traditional page color that supports comfortable reading while adding a distinctive, polished character.
The italic slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the design favors graceful curves over blunt geometry. Fine details and thin connecting strokes can appear delicate, especially in smaller settings or on low-resolution output.
