A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketted and tapered, with crisp entry/exit strokes that give many forms a gentle forward sweep. Proportions feel bookish and moderate, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and a steady rhythm that stays clear in text despite the lively italic construction. Uppercase shows classical, slightly sculpted shapes, while the lowercase leans into a fluid cursive structure with single-storey-style movement and compact joins.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or lead-ins. It also fits cultural and literary branding, packaging with a classic tone, and formal materials like invitations or programs where a refined, traditional voice is desirable.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial polish. Its italic energy adds warmth and expressiveness without turning decorative, making it feel refined, trustworthy, and slightly romantic.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a graceful, calligraphic lean. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for continuous text and typographic emphasis while preserving a disciplined, classical structure.
The numerals match the italic slant and contrast, with curving forms and angled terminals that maintain consistency alongside the letters. Diacritic dots and small details appear sharp and intentional, reinforcing a crisp, print-oriented feel.
