A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and flowing, calligraphic modulation. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing, and joins show smooth, pen-like transitions from thick to thin. Proportions feel traditional, with compact counters, a moderate x-height, and lively rhythm created by angled stems and slightly irregular widths across letters. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with elegant curves and delicate terminals that keep the overall color light and crisp on the page.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It can also serve effectively in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a traditional, elegant serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly literary, editorial character. Its italic movement adds elegance and urgency without feeling flamboyant, conveying a composed, traditional sophistication appropriate for formal reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with classical serif cues, balancing grace and clarity for serious text work. Its contrast and tapered detailing emphasize a pen-informed elegance while maintaining a disciplined, bookish structure.
The face shows clear oldstyle tendencies in the lowercase, with rounded forms and gently leaning stress that read smoothly in continuous text. Delicate hairlines and pointed terminals give it a polished look, but they also make the design feel more suited to well-printed settings than to harsh, low-resolution environments.
