A high-contrast italic serif with an editorial, text-focused construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with pointed, sharply tapered joins and bracketed serifs that often resolve into small wedge-like terminals. The italic slant is assertive and rhythmically consistent, with many lowercase forms showing calligraphic entry/exit strokes and slightly asymmetrical bowls. Uppercase proportions feel stately and stable, while the lowercase has a lively, handwritten current; counters are generally open and the overall color stays clean despite the contrast.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary publishing where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. The pronounced contrast and elegant detailing also make it effective for display uses like headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements where a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority with a touch of flourish. Its energetic italic motion and crisp finishing give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to sophisticated reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more expressive italic, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic cadence. It aims to deliver a polished, authoritative texture in continuous text while providing a graceful, emphatic voice for highlighted passages.
The italic forms prioritize flowing continuity over strict geometry, which helps long lines feel animated. Figures appear lining with similarly strong contrast and clear silhouettes, matching the text’s formal character.
