A high-contrast serif italic with clearly calligraphic construction: thin hairlines, swelling curves, and tapered terminals create a lively, slanted rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and crisp, with sharp entry and exit strokes that emphasize diagonal stress. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders and descenders and open interior spaces that keep forms from clogging despite the delicate thins. Numerals follow the same engraved, old-style sensibility, mixing strong vertical strokes with airy joins and fine finishing details.
Well-suited to extended reading in print-oriented layouts, especially for editorial pages, book interiors, and literary or cultural headlines where an italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined short-form applications such as quotes, pull quotes, invitations, and formal announcements where its contrast and finishing details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and cultured, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial design. Its brisk italic movement reads as articulate and expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of sophistication and tradition.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances tradition with clarity, providing an expressive companion voice for emphasis and elegant setting while maintaining a disciplined, readable texture.
The italics show noticeable stroke modulation across bowls and diagonals, producing a slightly animated texture in text. Uppercase forms maintain a dignified presence without feeling overly ornamental, while lowercase shapes lean distinctly, giving paragraphs a flowing, continuous cadence.
