A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with calligraphic entry/exit strokes that create a lively, forward rhythm. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows fluid joins and a consistent slant that keeps lines moving smoothly. Numerals echo the same contrast and curved stress, giving figures an old-style, text-like feel in continuous setting.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with authority and grace. It also fits formal communication—programs, invitations, and boutique branding—where a classical, refined serif impression is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a classic bookish polish. Its energetic italic movement reads as expressive rather than decorative, suggesting sophistication, tradition, and cultured restraint.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional italic companion with clear calligraphic roots, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant texture. Its strong contrast and tapered finishing strokes aim to deliver a sophisticated, expressive italic suitable for extended reading and polished typographic emphasis.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping maintain clarity in longer passages despite the strong diagonal stress. The design’s contrast and tapered details become a key part of its character, making it especially striking at text-to-display sizes where fine terminals and serifs can be appreciated.
