A high-contrast italic serif with a clear calligraphic backbone and pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes transition from hairline thins to assertive stems, with finely tapered entry/exit strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that keep the rhythm smooth rather than abrupt. Capitals are slightly wide with sweeping curves and sharp internal joins, while the lowercase is fluid and moderately compact, with round i-dots and energetic terminals. Numerals read as oldstyle-style figures with varying heights and distinctive, open counters, reinforcing an editorial, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titling. It also works effectively for refined headlines, invitations, and branded collateral that benefits from a traditional, elevated serif italic.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography and cultivated formality. Its brisk slant and crisp hairlines add a sense of motion and sophistication, making it feel polished and expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-friendly serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic sparkle. It aims to provide an elegant, authoritative voice for continuous reading and typographic emphasis without sacrificing character.
In running text the letterforms create a lively, slightly varied color due to strong contrast and pointed terminals, which can look elegant at display sizes and in short passages. The italic construction is consistent across cases, giving headings and pull quotes a cohesive, intentional emphasis.
