A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge-like serifs and a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, and the joins and curves feel calligraphically informed rather than geometric. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase is more cursive in color, with a clear two-storey “a” and “g,” narrow entry strokes, and energetic diagonals. Figures follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning construction, blending smoothly with text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interior text, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles. It also fits formal communications—such as programs, invitations, and certificates—where a classic, polished serif italic reinforces a traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial refinement, and a slightly dramatic, classical elegance. Its slanted movement and crisp serifs add a sense of pace and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge, providing a refined companion for text typography and expressive emphasis within longer reading contexts.
The letterforms balance sharp serifs with rounded bowls, producing a strong text color and a distinctly italic cadence. The contrast and tapering suggest best performance at comfortable reading sizes rather than very small, low-resolution settings.
