A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced diagonal slant, crisp hairlines, and weight concentrated in vertical-ish stems. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and occasional swash-like curves, especially in the lowercase. The rhythm is flowing and slightly dramatic, with tightened joins, tapered strokes, and lively entry/exit strokes that create a handwritten, calligraphic texture while remaining firmly typographic. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with sculpted curves and distinctive open counters.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where a classic italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, packaging, and brand accents, and shines in pull quotes, leads, and other emphasized text where a graceful, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, conveying tradition and polish with a touch of flourish. It feels suited to refined, classic communication—confident and expressive rather than minimal or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast text serif italic that balances readability with expressive calligraphic detailing. Its italic construction and terminal treatments suggest an emphasis on elegance and emphasis, providing a refined voice for both continuous text and display-like moments.
Uppercase forms read as stately and restrained compared to the more animated lowercase, which adds personality through curled terminals and stronger calligraphic movement. In text, the contrast and italic angle produce a pronounced sparkle, making it particularly effective when given adequate size and line spacing.
