A crisp, slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a calligraphic axis that gives strokes a gently written rhythm rather than a purely mechanical feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, varied contours, and the lowercase shows fluid joins and occasional looped or hooked terminals. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast construction, keeping the set visually coherent in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book passages, pull quotes, and other contexts where a classic italic voice is needed. It can also serve refined branding or invitations where high-contrast serifs and a calligraphic slant communicate sophistication.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with a poised, editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic movement reads expressive and cultivated, evoking classical book typography and refined correspondence rather than utilitarian interface text.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif italic optimized for elegant reading and emphatic typographic moments. Its consistent calligraphic construction suggests an aim for timelessness and clarity, with just enough flourish to feel distinctive in continuous text.
The design leans on elegant diagonals and tapered stroke endings, creating a bright page color and a graceful line rhythm at display and text sizes. The italic forms feel intentionally expressive, with distinctive entry/exit strokes that add character without becoming ornamental.
