A high-contrast italic serif with distinctly calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a strong thick–thin rhythm and a forward slant, with tapered terminals and lively entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and the texture energetic. Capitals are slightly narrow and crisp, while the lowercase features a traditional italic ductus (single-storey forms and flowing joins) and a moderate x-height that maintains a bookish color. Figures appear lining and similarly slanted, with elegant curves and sharp, pointed details in diagonals and terminals.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and book jackets, where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also serve as an emphasis style in longer-form reading when used with ample size and spacing to preserve hairline clarity.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests literary or institutional contexts. Its pronounced contrast and brisk italic movement add a sense of emphasis and ceremony rather than casual informality.
The font appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented italic that balances classical serif structure with expressive, pen-driven modulation. Its goal is to deliver a distinguished, readable texture while providing a confident italic presence for emphasis and display.
The design reads best where the stroke modulation can be appreciated: the sharp, tapered joins and thin hairlines create a sparkling texture at display sizes and in short passages, while the darker italic mass gives strong emphasis when set alongside a roman companion.
