A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with thin hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems, giving the letterforms a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, angled terminals, and a distinctly cursive italic construction (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y). Figures follow the same contrast and slant, reading as elegant, text-oriented numerals rather than rigidly geometric forms.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography as an italic companion for emphasis, quotes, captions, and names. It can also perform in formal print pieces—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a traditional, elegant italic voice is needed, and in branding accents when used with restraint.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its energetic italic motion adds sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel appropriate for refined, expressive settings without becoming decorative or fussy.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong classic pedigree: high contrast, bracketed serifs, and a calligraphic flow aimed at comfortable reading and graceful emphasis within continuous text.
Spacing appears comfortably open, supporting line-by-line text with a steady texture despite the strong thick–thin modulation. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, and many terminals resolve into pointed, slightly curved beaks that reinforce the handwriting-derived character.
