A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with tapered terminals, subtle teardrop/ball-like endings in places, and diagonally stressed curves. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders and descenders and slightly lively, uneven character widths that create an organic texture. Numerals and lowercase forms read as oldstyle-leaning in feel, reinforcing a classic text serif color.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or voice. It can also work for formal announcements and invitations, especially in larger sizes where the contrast and terminal detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a refined, literary elegance. Its italic angle and calligraphic detailing add motion and sophistication, suggesting formality without feeling rigid.
Designed to deliver a classical italic companion with strong thick–thin modulation and traditional serif detailing, aiming for an elegant, authoritative reading texture. The lively widths and calligraphic terminals suggest an intention to balance readability with expressive, literature-forward character.
Uppercase letters maintain sharp, clean joins and well-defined serifs, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence through curved entry/exit strokes and soft terminals. Spacing and rhythm produce a smooth line in running text, with strong contrast giving the face a bright, engraved-like sparkle at display sizes.
