A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, slightly pen-driven construction and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline connections to strong main stems, with angled entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that give the forms a quick, lively texture. Capitals are moderately wide with crisp, classical proportions, while lowercase shows a clear italic slant, compact bowls, and neatly modulated curves. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with thin cross-strokes and sturdy verticals that keep them legible while still refined.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and other settings where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve branding and identity work that benefits from a classic, refined serif with noticeable contrast and movement.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal communication. Its sharp, refined contrast and italic motion read as expressive and cultured rather than casual, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence in running text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast, offering a traditional, print-oriented feel while providing enough sharpness and motion to stand out in headings and emphasized passages.
The rhythm in text is driven by strong diagonals and narrow hairlines, creating a sparkling page color at larger sizes and a more delicate texture as sizes shrink. Curved letters show consistent diagonal stress, and the italic construction feels cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
