This typeface presents a right-slanted, calligraphic italic with serifed terminals and smoothly tapered strokes. Forms are built from rounded, slightly compressed bowls and arcing entry/exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm without connecting letters. Contrast is moderate, with thicker downstrokes and finer hairlines, and many terminals finish in small wedge-like serifs or gentle hooks. Uppercase letters feel open and energetic, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, readable texture with compact counters and a steady baseline despite the pronounced slant.
It works well for display and short-to-medium passages where an elegant italic voice is desired—such as book covers, editorial callouts, pull quotes, invitations, and refined branding. The strong slant and lively terminals make it particularly effective for emphasis, titles, and poetic or literary settings.
The overall tone is formal yet spirited, combining a classic bookish italic feel with a hand-drawn, personal touch. It reads as expressive and cultured rather than casual, making the text feel graceful and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a calligraphic, hand-rendered flavor—prioritizing graceful motion, refined detailing, and a lively texture suitable for expressive typography.
Numerals match the italic movement and show the same tapered, slightly calligraphic construction, helping mixed text look cohesive. The alphabet shows consistent stroke behavior and a strong diagonal emphasis, which adds speed and motion in longer lines.
