A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper sharply into fine hairlines, while thicker stems and curves provide a sculpted, elegant texture. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like, with lively terminals and smooth, flowing joins that create a dynamic baseline sweep, especially in the lowercase.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic texture. It also works effectively in pull quotes, headlines, and refined branding—particularly when a classic, cultured atmosphere is preferred. The numerals and capitals feel appropriate for formal titling, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a traditional serif italic presence.
This typeface conveys a refined, literary tone with a touch of drama from its strong italic motion and crisp contrast. It feels classical and cultured rather than casual, suggesting editorial polish and a slightly formal voice.
The design appears intended as an expressive, traditional italic for continuous reading where a more elevated tone is desired. Its contrast and shaping aim to combine classic bookish structure with energetic movement, delivering emphasis and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The lowercase shows a notably flowing, cursive-like construction with pronounced entry and exit strokes, while the capitals maintain a stately serif structure with italic energy. Overall spacing and rhythm read as smooth and continuous, producing a dark, authoritative color in text settings.
