A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes show diagonal stress and tapered joins, with crisp wedge-like terminals and slightly curved entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm lively. Capitals are compact and stately, while the lowercase has a flowing, forward-leaning structure with moderate extenders and a gently modulated, pen-driven texture. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a traditional text face feel.
Well suited for book and long-form typography as an italic companion for emphasis, citations, and quotations. The crisp contrast and elegant rhythm also make it effective for magazine and editorial layouts, pull quotes, and refined headings where a classical, cultivated italic is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting careful typesetting and a refined, cultivated voice. Its energetic italic movement adds sophistication and warmth without becoming casual, reading as formal and editorial rather than decorative.
This design appears intended as a traditional, pen-influenced italic that delivers a refined, classical texture for editorial and literary contexts. The combination of sharp bracketed serifs, strong contrast, and controlled slant suggests a focus on elegant emphasis and formal readability rather than novelty.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the contrast is pronounced enough to give sparkle at display sizes while still retaining traditional book-italic proportions. The lively curvature in letters like g, y, and f adds personality, while the serifs and tight joins keep it grounded and conventional.
