A slanted text face with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a smooth, drawn rhythm. Curves are generously rounded with tight, tapered joins, while verticals feel sturdy and clean. Terminals often finish with small, soft hooks or teardrop-like ends, giving the outlines a subtly calligraphic flavor without becoming ornate. Counters are open and legible, and the overall spacing reads slightly roomy, supporting clear word shapes in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or long-form reading where a distinctive but readable italic voice is needed. It can also serve in branding and packaging for a classic, cultured impression, and performs well for pull quotes or subheads that benefit from extra texture and movement.
The tone is refined and bookish, combining a traditional sensibility with a lively, handwritten energy. It feels authoritative yet approachable—more editorial and literary than purely utilitarian—adding character without sacrificing clarity.
Likely designed to provide a characterful, highly readable italic with traditional proportions and a refined contrast profile, balancing elegance with everyday usability in text and display settings.
Diagonal stress is apparent across rounded letters, and the contrast creates a polished sparkle in text. Figures and capitals carry the same gently modulated stroke logic, helping headings and numerals feel consistent with body copy.
