A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered terminals and delicate, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent forward slant, giving lines a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals are narrow and poised with clean hairlines, while the lowercase uses compact, slightly looped forms and teardrop-like finishing strokes that keep textures light and articulate. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic stress, reading crisp and formal in running text.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, magazine features, and book typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis or display. It can also support refined branding, titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations—especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines and serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual handwriting. Its steep italic movement and fine details suggest a premium, expressive voice suited to elegant storytelling and high-end presentation.
Likely designed as a classic, high-contrast italic intended to bring calligraphic energy and sophistication to conventional serif typography. The emphasis appears to be on graceful movement, crisp detail, and a polished reading texture for premium print-like applications.
In text, the face maintains a smooth, continuous flow with distinct word shapes and a bright color due to the thin hairlines. The sharp terminals and fine joins emphasize precision and grace, particularly in diagonals and curved letters.
