A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are gently slanted with crisp, bracketed serifs and wedge-like finishing strokes that stay sharp rather than bulbous. Lowercase forms show flowing entry and exit strokes, narrow apertures, and a slightly variable rhythm that reads lively without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and tapered terminals that keep the texture light and airy at text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form and editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within serif body text. It can also serve formal print pieces such as invitations or programs, where the refined contrast and calligraphic italic texture add elegance without requiring ornamental display styling.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its slant and crisp contrast add a sense of motion and finesse, making it feel expressive yet disciplined—more literary than flashy.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that pairs traditional serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic stroke rhythm. It aims to deliver a polished, authoritative tone while preserving the expressive movement expected from an italic companion in book and editorial typography.
The face maintains consistent italic angle across cases, with restrained swash-like behavior in a few shapes (notably the flowing tails and curved diagonals) while remaining largely conventional in structure. Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping maintain clarity despite the strong contrast and fine hairlines.
