A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving counters a lively diagonal stress. Terminals are crisp and often slightly hooked, while joins remain clean and controlled; the overall texture is airy yet darkens in the heaviest strokes. Capitals are compact and poised with chiseled serifs, and the numerals follow the same italic rhythm with elegant curves and tapered entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headlines with a classical tone, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from high-contrast sophistication.
The font conveys a classic, cultivated tone—confident and formal without feeling rigid. Its italic movement and crisp finishing details evoke editorial sophistication and a traditional bookish polish.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic heritage, balancing readability with an elevated, traditional finish. It aims to provide a distinctive italic color for emphasis and hierarchy while maintaining a disciplined, book-oriented rhythm.
Spacing appears measured for continuous reading, producing an even line despite the strong contrast. Curved letters (like O, Q, S) emphasize smooth, drawn contours, while diagonals and arms (such as in K, V, W, Y) are sharply cut and energetic, reinforcing the italic cadence.
