A serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and a flowing, calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered terminals and subtly flared endings, giving the letters a sharpened, energetic silhouette. Serifs are bracketed and angled, with crisp entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and forms readable. The texture is lively and slightly variable across glyphs, with diagonals and curves (notably in capitals and numerals) emphasizing movement and a traditional italic rhythm.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works effectively in headlines and refined branding applications that benefit from traditional sophistication and motion, and can add an elegant tone to invitations or cultural/event materials.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, combining classical polish with an expressive, handwritten impulse. It suggests formality without stiffness—suited to cultured, traditional contexts where a bit of flair and momentum is welcome.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic reading experience with heightened elegance and speed, using tapered terminals and flared serif behavior to create a distinctive, editorial texture. It aims to bridge dependable text performance with a more expressive, calligraphic character for display and emphasis.
Capitals present a dignified, inscriptional presence while maintaining italic dynamism, and the numerals carry the same angled, tapered logic for consistent color in running text. The letterforms balance crisp edges with gentle swelling, producing a refined texture that remains legible at text sizes while becoming more dramatic when enlarged.
