A high-contrast serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp, clean terminals and a consistent rightward slant across caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows compact counters and a rhythmic, slightly variable spacing feel, while capitals are wide and stately with smooth curves and crisp entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, giving the set a cohesive, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, voice, or hierarchy—such as books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes. It can also serve as a refined display italic for headlines, invitations, or branded statements where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, formal voice that suggests tradition and cultivated refinement. Its italic energy reads expressive rather than casual, lending emphasis that feels ceremonial and editorial.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic accent. Its proportions and disciplined contrast suggest an aim for traditional elegance and authoritative emphasis in continuous reading contexts.
Round forms show a clear diagonal stress, and joins and shoulders are shaped with a pen-like logic that keeps curves lively. The heavier downstrokes and fine hairlines create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while the sharp details reward good reproduction.
