A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Stems are thin-to-thick with sharp hairlines, and many terminals finish in tapered points or subtle teardrops, giving the design a lively, calligraphic cadence. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: uppercase letters are moderately wide with open counters, while the lowercase shows flowing forms, compact joins, and descenders with a gentle swing. Figures are italic and oldstyle in feel, with varying widths and clear thick–thin modulation that matches the text rhythm.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, lead-ins, or captions. It also works for refined branding lines, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic serif italic with strong contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting an editorial, literary seriousness with a touch of renaissance-style warmth. Its energetic italic movement reads expressive rather than decorative, suggesting sophistication and narrative emphasis rather than display eccentricity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that draws on calligraphic construction to create an elegant, historically informed texture. Its consistent contrast and traditional proportions suggest a focus on comfortable text flow while still providing a distinctive, expressive italic color.
Stroke contrast stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the spacing appears even enough for continuous reading. The italic construction is evident throughout, including in the figures, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in mixed text and numbers.
