A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, tapered behavior, with pointed terminals and slightly flared joins that create an energetic rhythm. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in structure despite the overall italic angle, while the lowercase features flowing, varied curves and distinct entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, with swashy curves and a text-like, oldstyle feel in their silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes. The strong contrast and animated forms also work effectively for short headlines and display lines where character and polish matter more than maximum small-size neutrality.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial sophistication. Its strong contrast and lively italic motion add a sense of drama and emphasis, making it feel poised and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
Designed to provide a confident, traditional italic with high-contrast elegance and a distinctly calligraphic cadence. The intent appears to balance classic serif conventions with sharper terminals and energetic stroke movement to create an italic that can carry both emphasis and personality.
The shapes show consistent diagonal stress and a slightly condensed impression in the capitals, helping lines look tight and intentional. Curved letters (C, G, S, e) emphasize sharp beak-like terminals, while straighter forms (H, N, M) keep firm, serifed anchoring that stabilizes the slant.
