A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and taper to fine points, giving terminals a crisp, calligraphic finish. Counters are open and oval forms show a diagonal stress; the rhythm is flowing with moderate spacing and a slightly narrow, streamlined feel. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast stroke logic, with sharp joins and tapered ends that keep the texture light and articulate in setting text.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and running commentary. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations and announcements, particularly at comfortable text sizes where the fine hairlines and tapered terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting classical polish rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its sweeping italics and hairline details convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a refined, print-oriented texture. It prioritizes graceful motion and crisp detailing to deliver an expressive yet conventional serif voice for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
In longer text, the combination of strong contrast and fine hairlines creates a bright page color with lively movement, especially in sequences with many diagonals and curved joins. The italic construction is assertive (not merely oblique), with clearly drawn entry/exit strokes that emphasize handwriting influence while staying firmly typographic.
