A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a brisk rightward slant. Strokes are tapered and tensioned, with crisp, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that stay relatively delicate against the heavier stems. The proportions feel moderately condensed and lively, with flowing joins and a slightly calligraphic construction in the lowercase; counters remain open and the rhythm is smooth rather than rigid. Capitals are clean and restrained, while the figures follow the same angled, high-contrast logic for a consistent text color.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and crisp detailing can shine.
The tone is polished and traditional, conveying an editorial, bookish elegance. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as formal without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears aimed at providing a classic, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, emphasizing elegance, clarity, and a disciplined calligraphic rhythm. Its detailing suggests a focus on nuanced emphasis in text settings while remaining presentable for refined display use.
The face maintains a refined sparkle at display sizes thanks to its hairlines and sharp terminals, while still presenting cohesive, readable forms in continuous text. The italic construction feels integral (not merely obliqued), giving the letters a practiced, pen-informed flow.
