A high-contrast italic serif with a sculpted, calligraphic construction and crisp bracketed serifs. The stroke modulation is pronounced, with thin hairlines and fuller main strokes, and terminals that often taper into pointed, slightly hooked forms. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm with angled stress and fluid joins; the italic slant is consistent across letters and figures. The numerals and punctuation-like forms visible share the same sharp hairlines and sweeping curves, producing an overall polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an expressive italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations, particularly when set at medium to larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultivated editorial design. Its brisk italic movement and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and a hint of drama without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic slant, balancing readability with an elegant, characterful texture. Its detailing suggests a focus on classic typographic manners while providing enough motion and sharpness to stand out in contemporary editorial settings.
In running text the combination of strong contrast and narrow counters creates a dark, energetic color, especially at larger sizes. Distinctive details include the swashed-like entry/exit strokes on several lowercase forms and the prominent, elegant curves in letters such as Q, g, y, and z, which contribute to a dynamic, stylish rhythm.
