A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward incline and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes move between hairline-thin connections and fuller main stems, creating a lively rhythm and clear diagonal stress. Serifs appear bracketed and slightly flared, with pointed finishing strokes on many letters that add speed and crispness. The lowercase shows compact, flowing forms with calligraphic joins and a single-storey italic feel, while capitals are more stately and open, giving the set a traditional book-face structure with a more animated italic voice.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, and quotations, and for refined subheads that benefit from extra motion and contrast. It can also serve formal print pieces—programs, announcements, and invitations—where a traditional serif italic look supports a polished tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic sparkle from the sharp serifs and strong contrast. It reads as formal and cultivated rather than casual, suggesting tradition, refinement, and a gentle sense of motion.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with heightened contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a more energetic, calligraphic finish for emphasis and display moments within text-centric layouts.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp, angled detailing, helping headings and pull quotes feel consistent with text settings. The italic slant is assertive enough to signal emphasis clearly, while the generous internal counters keep forms from feeling overly ornate.
