A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline connections. Serifs read as small, tapered wedges with gentle bracketing, and terminals tend toward pointed, calligraphic finishes rather than blunt cuts. The overall rhythm is lively and forward-leaning, with narrow joins, open counters, and a slightly varying set of proportions between characters that reinforces an organic, pen-informed texture. Numerals follow the same italic stress and high-contrast construction, staying graceful and light on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quotations, as well as refined headlines in magazines and cultural materials. It also fits formal invitations and high-end branding moments where a classical, elegant italic can carry the tone. Because of its fine hairlines and contrast, it will perform best with adequate size and high-quality reproduction.
The font conveys a cultivated, bookish elegance—more poetic and expressive than neutral, but still restrained and traditional. Its sheen of high contrast and fine details suggests sophistication and ceremony, evoking editorial and classical publishing tones rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to provide a traditionally rooted italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—combining classical serif structure with lively stroke endings and bright contrast for expressive, elegant typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the design leans on delicate entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, flowing line in text. Caps feel dignified and slightly calligraphic, while lowercase forms keep a smooth, readable cadence in running copy when given sufficient size and spacing.
