This is a high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and an overall forward slant, with smooth, tapering joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals in the lowercase. The uppercase is slightly narrow and crisply modeled, while the lowercase is more dynamic, with single-storey forms and a lively baseline texture. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curled endings and a distinctly drawn ‘2’ and ‘3’ that emphasize movement.
It works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where an italic voice is desired with refinement and authority. The pronounced contrast and energetic cursive structure also suit book covers, formal announcements, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, upscale tone.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a polished, editorial sophistication. Its strong italic gesture and sharp contrast add a sense of drama and elegance, suitable for expressive emphasis rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic flavor, delivering expressive emphasis while retaining conventional serif readability and structure.
Letterforms maintain consistent stress and contrast across cases, producing a rhythmic, slightly variable color that becomes more pronounced at display sizes. The italic angle is assertive, and the shapes prioritize calligraphic motion over rigid symmetry.
