An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic slant. Serifs are bracketed and sharpen into tapered, wedge-like terminals, while curves show diagonal stress and crisp joins. Capitals feel relatively upright and stately against more fluid lowercase forms, with long ascenders and modestly sized counters that keep the color compact. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with elegant curves and varied widths that reinforce a traditional text rhythm.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and other long-form reading where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It also suits invitations, programs, and pull quotes where a classic, high-contrast serif voice conveys formality and polish.
The font projects a refined, bookish tone—classic and composed rather than loud. Its sharp serifs and lively italic movement add a sense of cultured sophistication suited to formal and literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed structure—balancing elegance with the practical rhythm needed for text composition.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous setting, and the strong contrast produces a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes while remaining legible in paragraph samples. The italic angle is consistent across cases, with distinctive, slightly swashed qualities in some capitals and a lively, traditional ‘g’ and ‘y’ that emphasize a handwritten influence.
