An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear rightward slant. Strokes are tapered and smoothly curved, with bracketed wedge-like serifs that often resolve into sharp, directional terminals. The letterforms show a flowing, written rhythm with compact join behavior in the lowercase, while capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spaces. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stress, keeping a consistent texture across lines of text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory text. It can also work for refined headlines and pull quotes, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial flavor. Its crisp contrast and energetic italic movement suggest sophistication and a touch of drama, suited to expressive but controlled typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-style italic for conventional serif typography, emphasizing calligraphic motion, contrast, and a refined page texture. The intent appears to balance traditional proportions with expressive stroke endings to create emphasis without losing typographic discipline.
The italic construction is strong enough to read as a primary style rather than a mere companion italic: many terminals are distinctly angled and tapered, and the stress is consistently oblique. At larger sizes the sharpness and contrast feel especially crisp; in denser settings the lively stroke modulation creates a noticeable sparkle.
