A slender italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a crisp, calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and small, finely bracketed serifs, with noticeable modulation that stays controlled and consistent across letters. Capitals are tall and narrow with poised, classical proportions, while lowercase forms are compact and slightly angular, with narrow apertures and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, keeping a graceful, editorial texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where a refined italic voice is needed. It can work effectively on book jackets, cultural or luxury branding, and formal stationery when set with comfortable spacing and moderate sizes. In longer passages it can deliver a classic literary feel, particularly as an accent style rather than the sole text face.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, suggesting bookish sophistication and old-world refinement. Its narrow, fast italic movement adds a sense of urgency and drama without becoming flamboyant, making it feel formal, articulate, and slightly romantic.
The font appears designed to deliver a dignified italic with a traditional serif foundation and a pronounced, elegant narrowness. Its intent seems focused on creating a distinctive, elevated tone for display and editorial emphasis, combining classical proportions with calligraphic energy.
The design’s tight set and elongated forms create a strong vertical presence and a dense, even color in paragraphs. Pointed joins and hooked terminals are especially evident in letters like f, j, y, and g, reinforcing the handwritten influence while remaining distinctly serifed and typographic.
