A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with crisp terminals that often finish in sharp, calligraphic points. The letterforms show oldstyle tendencies (notably in the numerals) and an organic, pen-influenced rhythm; curves carry diagonal stress and joins feel slightly softened by subtle bracketing. Proportions are moderately narrow overall with compact counters, and the italics are clearly drawn rather than mechanically slanted, giving a lively, flowing texture in text.
Works well for editorial typography, book-like composition, and other long-form settings where a traditional italic voice is needed. It also suits refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when an expressive yet conventional serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting refinement and tradition. Its energetic italic movement adds a cultured, expressive feel suitable for elegant reading experiences rather than stark utilitarian labeling.
The design appears intended as a classic text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle inflection, balancing readability with elegant stroke contrast. Its purpose is to provide a polished italic voice that feels historically rooted and comfortable in editorial and literary contexts.
Uppercase forms are stately and sharply finished, while lowercase shapes lean more cursive in construction, creating a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals appear oldstyle and italic, blending smoothly into text and reinforcing a bookish, historical flavor. At larger sizes, the crisp hairlines and pointed terminals read as particularly graceful; in dense settings, the strong contrast can make texture feel more dramatic.
