A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letters lean with a consistent angle and show calligraphic influence in the tapered terminals, especially on the lowercase. Capitals are relatively wide and poised, while the lowercase has a fluid rhythm with compact joins and clear entry/exit strokes. Counters are fairly open, and the overall color stays crisp and elegant rather than dense.
Well-suited for long-form editorial contexts where an italic voice is needed—such as book typography, magazine features, and pull quotes. It also fits formal print uses like invitations, programs, and certificates where a refined, classical tone is desired. Best used at text and display sizes where the contrast and tapered details can remain clear.
The design reads as traditional and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial tone. Its crisp italics and dramatic contrast lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suitable for typography that wants to feel established and authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with strong calligraphic character and a polished, print-oriented finish. Its goal seems to be an expressive yet conventional serif italic that preserves readability while adding elegance and emphasis in running text.
Several forms emphasize an angled, pen-like stress and energetic curves (notably in S, Q, g, and y), giving the italic more motion than a purely mechanical slant. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic cadence, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed text settings.
