A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes shift quickly from thick to hairline, with tapered entries and exits that give the forms a calligraphic rhythm. The lowercase shows flowing joins and lively curves, with a relatively moderate x-height and generous ascenders/descenders that create a spacious vertical color. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders to harmonize with lowercase texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book work where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotes, and introductions. It also works effectively for literary headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations that benefit from a classic italic voice.
The tone is classic and literary, leaning toward refined, old-world sophistication rather than modern minimalism. Its energetic italic movement reads confident and expressive, suitable for settings where a sense of tradition and polish is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes elegant contrast and a fluid, calligraphic cadence. It aims to deliver a traditional reading texture while adding expressive movement for emphasis and display moments within editorial systems.
Counters are generally open and well-shaped, and the italics maintain a consistent angle across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The contrast and fine hairlines suggest best performance at comfortable text sizes and above, where the delicate details can remain clear.
