A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and a lively rightward slant. Hairlines are very fine and crisply tapered, while verticals and main diagonals carry more weight, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp entry/exit strokes and occasional sweeping terminals that add motion. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately tall ascenders, slightly compact bowls, and flowing curves; the lowercase shows a gently modulated texture, and the numerals follow the same graceful, slanted logic.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It also works effectively for invitations, quotes, and refined headlines, especially where a classic, cultured mood is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting formality without stiffness. Its expressive italics read as cultivated and slightly dramatic, making the page feel editorial and upscale rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic with heightened elegance—combining disciplined serif forms with calligraphic energy to provide a sophisticated companion style for narrative and editorial settings.
The design emphasizes stroke endings and thin joins, giving it a crisp, engraved-like sparkle at display sizes while remaining controlled in running text. Spacing appears measured and even, helping the cursive movement stay readable despite the pronounced contrast and slant.
