A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. The letterforms show crisp hairlines against strong main strokes, with smooth, calligraphic transitions into terminals and a consistent rightward slant. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: capitals are stately and restrained, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and subtly varied widths that create a lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic cadence, with refined curves and delicate joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or literary flavor. It can also serve effectively in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from high contrast and an elegant slant.
The overall tone is cultivated and polished, evoking classic publishing and traditional craftsmanship. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of motion and sophistication, lending the face a confident, slightly dramatic voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic for sophisticated text settings—prioritizing a classic serif structure with calligraphic energy for emphasis and tone. It aims to read as traditionally authoritative while offering a graceful, expressive rhythm.
Stroke modulation is prominent across both roman-like structures and cursive-inflected details, especially in curved letters and diagonally built forms. The design keeps a clean, controlled silhouette, making it feel more like a text-leaning italic than a display script, while still delivering strong typographic character.
