A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairlines set against fuller main strokes. Serifs appear fine and sharply cut, with a mix of bracketed and subtly wedged terminals that reinforce a calligraphic, pen-driven construction. Curves show diagonal stress and a slightly variable, lively rhythm across the set; round characters stay open and smooth while joins and entry strokes taper cleanly. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with narrow, angled forms and delicate finishing strokes that keep the texture light.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes, and for book and magazine typography that benefits from a traditional, refined italic. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, programs, and premium packaging where high contrast and elegant detailing are an asset.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting traditional typography with a touch of flourish. It feels formal and cultured rather than neutral, lending text an expressive, refined cadence.
The design appears intended as a classic, expressive italic serif that brings a traditional, print-oriented character to text while maintaining clarity through disciplined proportions and consistent stroke logic.
Uppercase forms maintain a steady, classical proportion while the lowercase leans more noticeably into cursive-like movement, especially in letters with ascenders and diagonals. Spacing and stroke contrast create a bright page color in longer text, with distinctive letterforms that read as intentional rather than purely utilitarian.
