A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. The serifs are fine and bracketed, and many strokes end in gently flared, calligraphic wedges that reinforce an angled writing-axis. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow apertures and compact inner counters, while capitals keep a dignified, slightly restrained presence. Numerals and lowercase show a lively rhythm with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a consistent slant that reads cleanly at text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book passages, magazine features, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal messaging—programs, invitations, and premium packaging—where contrast and calligraphic detail can enhance a classic aesthetic.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest formality and cultivated sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with a more calligraphic, high-contrast finish, balancing readability with decorative movement. Its consistent slant, tapered joins, and crisp serifs aim to provide a refined, expressive companion for sophisticated typography.
Stroke endings are consistently tapered, and the italic construction feels more like a true drawn italic than a simple oblique. The texture in paragraphs is moderately dark for an italic due to firm thick strokes and relatively tight openings, producing a refined, high-end page color.
