A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines in joins and terminals and weight concentrated on the main stems. The lowercase forms are lively and compact, with gently tapered entry strokes and rounded bowls that keep a consistent rhythm in text. Capitals are more upright in feel but still carry the italic construction, with sharp apexes and tapered cross-strokes that reinforce a formal, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It can also serve for refined announcements and invitations, especially at sizes where its contrast and sharp serifs read cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking classic publishing and old-style refinement rather than display exuberance. Its motion and contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making the text feel intentional and authored.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that pairs a classic serif structure with heightened contrast and calligraphic energy, aiming to deliver a cultured, editorial tone while remaining comfortable for continuous reading.
The figures follow the same italic stress and contrast pattern as the letters, giving numerals a distinctly typographic, literary character. Curved letters and diagonals (such as S, C, V/W, and x) emphasize the flowing, pen-influenced movement while maintaining a controlled, conventional silhouette.
