A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean decisively with a lively, calligraphic stress, showing crisp joins, narrow entrances, and swelling curves that create a rhythmic, slightly dramatic texture. Counters are moderately open and the overall proportions feel traditional, with capitals that carry generous curves and lowercase forms that move quickly along the baseline. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed terminals.
It works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine styling where an italic voice is meant to be prominent and elegant. The high contrast and brisk slant also suit formal invitations and brand marks that want a classic serif feel with added flair.
The font conveys a classic, literary refinement with a formal tone, while the energetic italic angle adds a sense of motion and emphasis. It feels suited to sophisticated editorial styling—polished and traditional, but not static.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with a more expressive, calligraphic character than a purely utilitarian text italic, offering a refined tone and strong emphasis for display and editorial use.
Spacing and rhythm appear intentionally varied in places, giving the text a more handwritten, display-leaning cadence despite its conventional serif structure. The ampersand and several lowercase forms show especially expressive stroke endings and curvature, which stand out in larger sizes.
