A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that feel engraved yet fluid. Capitals are broad and formal with restrained, wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic construction with pronounced entry/exit strokes and rounded, teardrop-like finishing. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, and the slant is consistent, creating a rhythmic line with noticeable thick–thin modulation. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with sculpted bowls and strong diagonals that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited to editorial layouts, books, and magazine typography where an italic with strong tradition and clarity is needed. It can serve effectively for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined headings, and can also work for formal collateral like invitations or programs when a classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic movement adds a sense of elegance and momentum, balancing seriousness with a gentle, expressive flourish.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly traditional, calligraphy-informed flavor. The intention appears to be an italic that can perform in continuous reading while still providing a recognizable, elegant personality for emphasis and display moments.
Letterforms show clear serif articulation and crisp joins, with some glyphs featuring more decorative terminals that become more apparent at display sizes. Spacing appears comfortable for text, though the contrast and lively italics give it a more characterful presence than a purely neutral serif.
