A high-contrast serif italic with tapered, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with sharpened entry and exit terminals, and the overall texture is bright and crisp in text. The capitals are slightly narrower and more upright in presence than the lowercase, while the lowercase has a fluid, forward slant and pronounced joins that create a lively, handwritten rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with open counters and strong stroke contrast that keeps figures crisp but expressive.
It suits editorial typography, book and magazine work, and other contexts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or titles. The sharp contrast and sculpted serifs also make it effective for invitations, cultural programs, and refined branding where a classic, literary tone is desired.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish elegance—formal without feeling rigid. Its italic energy adds warmth and movement, suggesting tradition, editorial polish, and a touch of theatrical flair in display settings.
The design appears intended as a traditional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic voice—balancing readability with a more expressive, polished character for emphasis, headings, and elegant setting.
Curved forms like C, G, S, and Q emphasize sweeping bowls and sharpened terminals, reinforcing a dynamic italic silhouette. The italic slant is consistent across letters and figures, and the contrast is strong enough to read as distinctly “dressy,” especially at larger sizes.
