A right-leaning serif italic with compact proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, producing crisp hairlines and weightier curved joins. Serifs are small and bracketed, often reading as tapered wedges, and many terminals finish with slight hooks or flicks that add motion without becoming fully script-like. Curves are narrow and tall, counters stay tight, and spacing feels energetic and slightly irregular in a way that reinforces the italic flow.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its italic energy and delicate serif detailing can be appreciated—book covers, magazine headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and premium packaging. It can also work for brand wordmarks that want a classic, cultured signature-like tone, though its narrow, animated forms favor generous sizing and breathing room.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an old-world, editorial character. Its slanted, calligraphic details give it a cultured, slightly romantic feel—more classic than playful—suited to conveying elegance and tradition.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a calligraphic italic gesture, creating a decorative yet readable face for expressive typography. It prioritizes elegance and motion over strict uniformity, aiming for a distinctive editorial and formal personality.
Numerals and capitals share the same italic momentum and tapered finishing, keeping texture consistent across mixed-case settings. The font’s narrow build creates a compact line while the varied stroke endings prevent the texture from feeling mechanical.
