This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. Stems and diagonals taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, and many joins are softly bracketed, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly pen-driven feel rather than rigid construction. Capitals have generous curves and sweeping diagonals, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with open counters and lively, angled stress. The numerals follow the same rhythm, with elegant curves, tapered entries, and crisp finishing strokes that maintain a consistent texture in running text.
It suits editorial and literary settings where an italic with personality is desired—pull quotes, headlines, titling, and refined brand statements. The distinctive contrast and tapered terminals make it especially effective for display typography and short passages where its elegant rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, combining formal sophistication with a sense of motion. Its sharp tapers and sweeping italics lend a dramatic, editorial voice, while the classic serif detailing keeps it grounded and traditional.
The design appears aimed at a classic, text-rooted italic that feels expressive and premium, using high contrast and flared terminals to evoke calligraphic tradition while staying clean and controlled for contemporary composition.
Spacing and rhythm read as intentionally lively: the italics create forward momentum, and the high contrast produces a bright, crisp page color at display sizes. The flared terminals add character at ends of strokes and help distinguish forms without resorting to heavy serifs.
