A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic strokes and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letters show a lively diagonal stress and flowing joins, with narrow entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Uppercase forms are slightly compact and elegant, while lowercase shapes maintain a steady rhythm and clear counters; descenders are relatively long and curved, adding motion in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin hairlines that read crisply at display sizes.
This face suits editorial and long-form settings where an italic voice is desired—pull quotes, introductions, captions, and elegant emphasis within body copy. It also works well for formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and brand collateral that benefits from a classic, polished italic presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a formal, editorial feel reminiscent of traditional book typography and classic print settings. Its slant and modulation convey sophistication and a sense of crafted movement rather than a purely mechanical construction.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic cadence, providing an expressive yet conventional companion for refined text composition. Its emphasis on crisp serifs, controlled proportions, and flowing strokes suggests an intention to balance readability with elegance.
The design’s contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright texture and strong word shapes, especially in longer lines of text. Curved terminals and subtle flare at stroke ends reinforce a handwritten influence while staying firmly within a conventional serif framework.
