A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin transitions and a consistent rightward slant, with gently tapered terminals and subtly cupped joins. Uppercase forms feel traditional and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase shows lively, flowing shapes with a moderate x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curving entry/exit strokes and elegant, bookish proportions.
Well-suited for editorial settings where an italic voice is needed: emphasis within long-form reading, pull quotes, captions, and refined subheads. It can also work effectively for formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs when a classic, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its lively italic movement adds a touch of sophistication and warmth without becoming decorative, making it feel polished, literary, and quietly expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with expressive calligraphic detail. Its proportions and contrast suggest a role as a complementary italic within a traditional serif system, providing clear emphasis and a polished editorial tone.
The texture in text is crisp and rhythmic, with strong verticals counterbalanced by diagonal hairlines and curved strokes. Capitals carry a dignified presence, while the lowercase contributes most of the dynamism, creating an elegant, slightly energetic page color suited to refined typography.
