A high-contrast serif with a steady rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and subtly calligraphic joins, producing a lively, handwritten rhythm while remaining clearly structured. Proportions feel moderately compact with slightly fluid widths from letter to letter, and the numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast construction for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essay-style layouts where an expressive italic can carry emphasis and tone. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional, high-contrast serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a polished, editorial confidence. Its italic energy reads elegant and slightly dramatic, evoking traditional printing and formal correspondence rather than a casual or technical voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic slant, balancing readability with expressive flair. It aims to deliver a timeless, print-oriented character suitable for long-form reading and sophisticated display moments.
Capitals present a dignified, inscriptional feel with sharp entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms emphasize smooth diagonals and curved stress that reinforces the calligraphic impression. The texture in paragraph setting is energetic yet controlled, with strong contrast creating sparkle at display sizes.
