A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic construction and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and clean, sharply cut joins, producing a bright, elegant texture in text. The italic slant is consistent and moderately steep, with flowing entry/exit strokes on lowercase forms and a slightly compact, energetic rhythm. Numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, with open counters and distinct, sculpted shapes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed—book and magazine italics, quotations, pull quotes, and refined titling. It can also support formal materials like invitations or programs where a classic, elegant voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is cultivated and traditional, evoking bookish authority and old-world polish. Its pronounced contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of drama and elegance, making it feel ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic flavor, prioritizing graceful flow and typographic sophistication in running text and display accents.
Capitals maintain a dignified, inscriptional presence while the lowercase carries most of the motion, with distinctive italic forms (notably in a, f, g, and y) that emphasize a handwritten influence. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, creating a smooth line with clear word shapes and a rhythmic baseline.
