A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with crisp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic hand. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact, softly rounded bowls and angled stress that reinforces the italic movement. Curves resolve into sharp, controlled terminals, giving the outlines a polished, print-like finish.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis with a refined voice. It also works effectively for formal materials—programs, invitations, and certificates—and for branding that benefits from a traditional, cultivated character, especially in display and short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining elegance with a slightly dramatic, old-world flair. Its brisk italic motion reads as expressive yet disciplined, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with expressive calligraphic energy. Its high contrast, bracketed serifs, and disciplined slant aim to provide an elegant companion for editorial and book typography while remaining strong enough for headline-style emphasis.
The italic slant is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a smooth forward flow in longer text. High contrast and sharp details make it visually striking at larger sizes, while the refined serifs and tapered strokes give it a distinctly editorial feel.
