A high-contrast italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show sharp thick–thin modulation reminiscent of broad-pen writing, with crisp terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishing on curves. Proportions feel generously spaced with relatively open counters and a steady rhythm across text, while the italic construction adds a lively forward motion without becoming overly cursive.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial design where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or stylish subheads. It can also serve for short-form display—titles, invitations, and formal announcements—where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a subtle sense of flourish. It reads as traditional and composed, yet energetic enough for expressive emphasis in editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, readable italic with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic serif treatment, balancing classic typographic conventions with a more expressive, polished texture for contemporary editorial use.
Capitals are stately and slightly compact in stance, while lowercase forms are more fluid, with clear italic joins and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, keeping contrast and slant consistent so mixed text maintains a cohesive texture.
