This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems and arms taper sharply into fine hairlines, while thicker strokes remain smooth and controlled, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, with wedge-like terminals that reinforce the flowing, pen-driven feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture reads airy and bright at text sizes while becoming more sculptural in larger settings.
It performs well in editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes—where an expressive italic serif can carry long-form tone. It also suits refined headlines, chapter openers, invitations, and other formal materials that benefit from a graceful, high-contrast presence.
The tone is refined and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic cadence that suggests traditional publishing and formal writing. Its italic motion and crisp hairlines give it a poised, expressive voice suited to emphasis and display rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with strong calligraphic influence, balancing traditional serif structure with energetic, pen-like movement. Its emphasis seems to be on elegance and articulation—clear thick–thin modulation, crisp terminals, and a rhythmic slant that adds personality to both display and running text.
Uppercase forms show restrained classical shapes with sharp, clean joins, while lowercase letters lean more cursive in their entry/exit strokes and terminal flicks. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted rhythm, keeping the set visually consistent in mixed typography.
