A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic axis and sharp, bracketed serifs. Strokes swell and taper decisively, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes and crisp, pointed terminals on many capitals. The lowercase shows lively cursive rhythm, including ball terminals and gently flared joins, while counters stay fairly open for an italic of this contrast. Proportions lean slightly narrow and verticals are dominant, giving the face a compact, energetic texture in text.
Well-suited for editorial applications such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong typographic color. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, literary tone, and for display lines where contrast and rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and legacy print. Its brisk italic slant and strong contrast lend a sense of refinement and authority, while the lively terminals add a touch of drama suited to emphasis and headline settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic heritage, balancing readability with expressive stroke modulation. Its details suggest an emphasis on elegant emphasis—an italic that can carry both continuous reading and prominent editorial moments.
Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and distinctive curves that harmonize with the italic movement. The uppercase has a stately presence with clear serifs and controlled curves, while lowercase characters like g, y, and f emphasize a calligraphic finish and a slightly ornamental edge without becoming overly decorative.
