A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline entry and exit strokes, and serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into tapered terminals. The italic construction is moderately slanted and fluid, with gently swelling curves and occasional swash-like capitals (notably in letters such as Q and W) that add movement without becoming overly ornamental. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with open counters and a consistent baseline flow that reads smoothly in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or long-form reading environments, and sophisticated marketing materials where an italic voice can carry emphasis or set a refined tone. It also performs well for invitations, program notes, and premium branding accents, particularly at medium to larger sizes where the hairlines and flourishes remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, combining classical formality with a touch of flourish. It suggests refinement and tradition—suited to settings where a graceful, cultivated voice is desired rather than a strictly utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, readable italic with strong contrast and tasteful flourish—balancing classical serif conventions with calligraphic motion for expressive but controlled typography.
Capitals have a dignified presence with subtle gesture and tapering that helps them stand out in display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, giving a cohesive voice across text and figures.
