An italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant, tapered terminals, and sharp wedge-like finishing strokes that give the outlines a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Proportions are moderately compact in the capitals, while the lowercase has lively rhythm and noticeable variation in letter widths; counters are generally open and the curves are smoothly drawn with clean joins. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, with varied heights and flowing shapes that match the text’s italic cadence.
Well suited to editorial and book settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or secondary text. It should perform particularly well in print-like layouts, magazine features, and literary titling where a classic, high-contrast serif italic adds sophistication and pace.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, evoking book typography and classical publishing. Its energetic italic movement reads as articulate and expressive rather than decorative, lending a cultured, slightly dramatic emphasis suited to long-form or formal contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif italic that provides an expressive companion for text typography—emphasizing readability, classical form, and a graceful written rhythm rather than novelty.
Capitals carry strong entry and exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow, and the lowercase includes distinctive, looped and hooked forms (notably in letters like g, y, and f) that add personality without breaking consistency. Spacing appears designed for continuous text, with a smooth baseline flow and clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters.
