A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms lean decisively forward with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining bracketed wedge-like serifs with occasional entry/exit flicks that read as understated swashes. Counters are relatively open for the style, while joins and curves stay crisp, giving the face a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals share the same italic stress and contrast, with elegant curves and tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book or chapter titles, pull quotes, and other emphasis settings where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and invitation-style materials, particularly where an elegant, traditional tone is important. For long passages, it will work best in moderate sizes where the contrast and italic movement remain comfortable to read.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and traditional elegance. Its energetic italic flow adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—strong contrast, tapered finishing strokes, and a confident forward slant—aimed at elegant emphasis and display-led typography.
Uppercase forms show stately, sculpted proportions with firm serifs and smooth curves, while lowercase forms lean more calligraphic, especially in letters with descenders and curved terminals. The texture in text is lively and slightly theatrical due to the strong contrast and forward slant, so it reads most confidently when given adequate size and spacing.
