A bold, high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic stress and brisk rightward slant. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to fine hairlines, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and frequent ball or teardrop terminals in the lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate counters and a slightly variable rhythm that gives the line a lively, handwritten-influenced texture while remaining clearly a conventional text serif. Numerals and capitals share the same vigorous contrast and tapered finishing, producing strong color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a forceful italic voice is needed, such as pull quotes, standfirsts, and section heads. It can also serve in book and long-form settings at comfortable sizes where its contrast and serifs stay crisp, and it performs strongly in branding or packaging that wants a traditional, premium feel.
The font projects a classic, literary tone—confident and authoritative without feeling rigid. Its energetic italic forms add warmth and motion, suggesting traditional print craftsmanship and editorial gravitas.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, classic serif italic that balances readability with expressive, pen-like modulation. Its strong contrast and animated terminals suggest a focus on elegant emphasis and authoritative display within traditional typography.
Curves are generously rounded and the joins show subtle swelling, reinforcing a pen-informed modulation. The italic angle is strong enough to read as emphatic in display sizes, while the letterforms remain coherent and consistent across the set.
