A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic stress and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, tapered terminals, and lively entry/exit strokes that give words a forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, with sharp apexes and controlled curves, while the lowercase is more fluid with compact counters and a gently varied, hand-influenced texture. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated construction, producing an even, polished color in text while retaining a visible stroke logic.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as book typography, magazine features, and pull quotes where an expressive italic serif is desired. It can also serve effectively in formal display contexts—titles, cultural programs, and invitation-style layouts—especially when set with generous spacing and moderate sizes that allow the contrast and serif shaping to read clearly.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, suggesting classic editorial typography with a touch of flourish. Its italic energy reads confident and cultivated rather than casual, lending a sense of tradition and sophistication to headlines and short passages.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif voice in an italic with clear calligraphic lineage, balancing readability with a stylish, elevated texture. Its shaping emphasizes graceful movement and refined detail to add emphasis without departing from classic typographic expectations.
The design’s contrast and pointed details are most noticeable in curved forms and diagonals, where strokes taper into fine hairlines and sharpened terminals. In running text the italic slant and tight internal shapes create a slightly dramatic texture, especially at larger sizes where the calligraphic detailing becomes more prominent.
