A robust italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a clear calligraphic axis. Serifs are bracketed and softly sculpted, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like endings that give the forms a lively, slightly decorative finish. The lowercase is compact and energetic, with rounded joins and a gently irregular, hand-inked rhythm; counters stay fairly open despite the heavy mass. Numerals and capitals share the same slanted, high-contrast construction, reading as cohesive and display-leaning rather than strictly text-neutral.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a classic italic voice. It can also work for short passages where a strong typographic color and expressive rhythm are desirable, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, expressive flair that suggests editorial sophistication. Its strong slant and swelling curves add drama and motion, creating a confident, slightly theatrical voice without becoming ornate or script-like.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly calligraphic italic character—prioritizing elegance, motion, and personality while remaining firmly within familiar serif proportions.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and many letters show subtly tapered strokes and soft curves that can create a textured line in paragraphs. At larger sizes the terminal details and bracketing become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the dense weight and contrast may emphasize texture over crispness.
