A high-contrast italic serif with a steady rightward slant and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines and heavier downstrokes, plus bracketed serifs that widen into curved, tapered endings. The lowercase has a moderately compact, bookish proportion with rounded bowls and slightly asymmetrical shaping, while capitals feel formal and classical with crisp joins and controlled curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic, high-contrast logic; the figures appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and lively curves.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic needs to carry tone—magazine decks, pull quotes, subheads, and refined branding. It can also work in book typography for emphasis and short passages, where its classical structure and lively modulation add sophistication without reading as novelty.
The overall tone is refined and literary, combining classical elegance with a warm, handwritten energy. Its italic movement and tapered terminals give it a poised, editorial voice that feels cultured rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a cultured, text-oriented italic that blends traditional serif construction with expressive, flared stroke endings. It emphasizes movement and contrast to create a distinctive voice for emphasis and display while retaining a fundamentally classical foundation.
The rhythm is notably dynamic: entry and exit strokes often taper into pointed or teardrop-like ends, and several letters (notably Q, g, j, y) add personality through curved tails and ball-like terminals. Despite the contrast, interior counters remain open enough to keep the texture from becoming overly spiky at text sizes.
