A graceful italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and smoothly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a consistent forward slant, tapered terminals, and a flowing, pen-like modulation that gives the shapes a lively rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more animated, with curving joins and angled stress that read clearly in text. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with old-style-like movement and elegant curves that harmonize with the alphabet.
Well-suited for long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic with strong typographic presence is needed. It also fits pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal stationery where a refined, classical tone is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic, bookish elegance that feels at home in cultured and formal settings. Its calligraphic energy adds warmth and sophistication without becoming ornamental, suggesting a traditional, editorial voice.
Likely intended as a conventional italic companion for serif typography, prioritizing traditional proportions and calligraphic stroke behavior to deliver an elegant, readable texture in continuous text. The design balances crisp contrast with smooth curves to create a distinctive but familiar editorial voice.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping the lively forms avoid clashing in continuous reading. The design relies on sharp hairlines and fine details at joins and serifs, making its character especially apparent at text and display sizes where the contrast can be appreciated.
