An italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning construction. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give many letters a drawn, pen-like finish. Round forms (C, O, o, e) show a lively diagonal stress, while verticals and diagonals keep crisp edges and clean joins. Proportions feel generous and open, with relatively wide capitals and a rhythmic, slightly uneven texture typical of italic text faces rather than rigidly geometric forms.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, as well as book design, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work for formal announcements and invitation-style typography where a classic, expressive serif italic is desirable.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, combining traditional bookish elegance with a touch of theatrical flair. Its high-contrast, sweeping italic shapes feel expressive and confident, suited to voice-driven typography where emphasis and cadence matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while providing an expressive italic character with clear calligraphic cues. It prioritizes elegance and forward motion—an italic meant to be seen and felt, not merely a mechanical oblique.
In text, the strong slant and contrast create a noticeably animated line, with prominent ascenders/descenders and energetic terminals that pull the eye forward. Numerals appear similarly stylized, maintaining the italic rhythm and sharp finishing strokes for consistent color in mixed settings.
