A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced, consistent rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift quickly between hairlines and thicker stems, with bracketed serifs that feel crisp rather than heavy. The letters show a calligraphic rhythm—curved entries, angled stress, and slightly open counters—while maintaining a disciplined, bookish structure. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic momentum, with slender joins and clear, classical proportions.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic emphasis is frequent, such as book typography, pull quotes, captions, and magazine features. It can also serve for refined headlines or subheads when a classic, energetic italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting literary or academic refinement. Its lively italic movement reads as expressive yet controlled, giving text a polished, slightly dramatic voice without becoming decorative.
The font appears intended as a conventional, highly legible italic companion for text work, balancing classical serif proportions with vivid contrast and a confident slant. Its forms prioritize an elegant reading texture and clear emphasis for literary and editorial use.
The design leans on slender horizontals and delicate connecting strokes, which heighten elegance and articulation at display sizes while keeping a coherent texture in continuous text. The italic forms emphasize forward motion and create a flowing line rhythm, especially in mixed-case settings.
