A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, calligraphic curvature. The design uses bracketed serifs and tapered terminals, with lively stroke joins that create a consistent diagonal rhythm across words. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with crisp entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are more cursive in feel, showing rounded bowls, soft shoulders, and occasional swash-like finishes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with expressive curves and angled stress.
This font suits editorial applications where an expressive serif italic is desired, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined subheads. It can also work well for book covers, cultural programs, and formal stationery where a traditional, elegant tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a literary, bookish warmth. Its energetic italic movement and refined contrast suggest elegance and formality without feeling rigid, lending a personable, traditional voice to headlines and highlighted text.
The design appears intended to provide a classic serif voice with a distinctly calligraphic italic character—combining traditional proportions with energetic movement and high-contrast refinement for prominent typographic moments.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping maintain clarity despite the strong slant and contrast. The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture in longer sample lines.
