A serif italic with calligraphic construction and tapered, flared stroke endings. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and gently modulated thick–thin rhythm, with sharp, clean terminals and small bracketed serifs that often resolve into wedge-like flicks. Proportions feel traditional with moderate counters and a steady baseline, while the italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion without collapsing spacing. Uppercase forms are poised and open, and lowercase features include a single-storey a and g, a long, graceful f, and a lively y with an extended descending tail.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as pull quotes, subheads, and elegant body copy where an italic voice is needed. It also fits formal applications like invitations and certificates, and can add a refined, classical tone to branding and packaging when used in short text and display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a hint of flourish that suggests classic book typography and cultured editorial use. Its slanted, tapered forms convey motion and sophistication, reading as formal rather than casual while still feeling personable and handwritten in spirit.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with a calligraphic flavor—balancing traditional serif structure with energetic, tapered terminals to create a refined yet expressive reading texture.
The italic takes on a slightly engraved or pen-cut character in the joins and terminals, giving letters a crisp, high-end finish. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, keeping the texture consistent in mixed text.
