A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and brisk, right-leaning slant. Strokes move from hairline-thin to sturdy verticals with diagonal stress, and many joins taper into pointed, knife-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, giving the outlines a traditional text-face structure while maintaining an energetic, cursive flow. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height; ascenders are prominent and the lowercase forms show pronounced modulation, producing a lively texture in continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book content where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or subheads. It can also serve in refined branding and formal materials—programs, invitations, and packaging—where a classic, high-contrast italic adds sophistication.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an old-world elegance that reads as cultured and editorial. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add drama, while the steady serif framework keeps it grounded and authoritative.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic that balances traditional readability with expressive, pen-informed detailing. The intent appears to be an italic that feels distinctly crafted and elegant while remaining usable for extended passages and typographic hierarchy.
Capitals appear slightly narrower and formal, pairing well with the animated lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with angled entry/exit strokes that help them blend into text settings rather than stand apart as rigid figures.
