A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered entry strokes and distinctly bracketed serifs. Curves show a calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines and fuller stressed strokes, and terminals often finish in teardrop-like or pointed forms. The italic is moderately slanted and lively, with compact, slightly irregular widths across letters that give the rhythm a subtly handwritten texture while staying firmly within a conventional text-serif structure. Numerals follow the same contrast and angled stress, with elegant, narrow shapes and fine joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form passages where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely in display-leaning roles—pull quotes, chapter openers, and formal stationery—where the contrast and sharp details can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish, literary typography with a refined, old-world elegance. Its strong contrast and energetic italic movement add a sense of sophistication and formality without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for refined text settings, balancing conventional serif construction with a calligraphic cadence for emphasis and elegance.
Capital forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase emphasizes graceful strokes, narrow joins, and crisp finishing details that read as delicate at small sizes but striking when enlarged. The spacing appears even and typographic, supporting continuous reading while preserving the italic’s expressive flow.
