A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and angled stress throughout the letterforms. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with sharp, tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic entry/exit behavior on many strokes. The overall rhythm is fluid and right-leaning, with generous curves, slightly open apertures, and a lively baseline texture driven by italic joins and tapered stems. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast and slanted stance, keeping a consistent, polished color in text.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also suits refined headings, subtitles, pull quotes, and formal invitations when a classic, high-contrast serif impression is desired.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and a sense of formal elegance. Its sharp, calligraphic detailing adds a subtle dramatic flair, making it feel suited to established, editorial typography rather than utilitarian UI settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an elevated, calligraphic finish—prioritizing a graceful reading rhythm and typographic authority. Its detailing suggests a role as a sophisticated companion for long-form composition and formal emphasis.
Uppercase forms read stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase shows more movement and personality through italic construction and sweeping terminals. The figures appear designed to harmonize with text, maintaining contrast and clarity without becoming overly decorative.
