This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, finely tapered terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The slant is consistent and moderately steep, with lively entry and exit strokes that give forms a calligraphic, pen-drawn feel. Capitals are broad and open, with ample internal space and crisp hairlines, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact joins and clearly articulated curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing details for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where italic is used for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes, and it can carry short-to-medium passages when set with comfortable leading. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, chapter openers, invitations, and other formal print applications where a refined italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial typography, classical bookwork, and formal correspondence. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis without becoming ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended as a classic text serif italic with a strong calligraphic backbone, balancing readability with expressive stroke movement. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for narrative typography and refined display emphasis.
Counters tend to be generous and the spacing feels on the open side, contributing to an airy, upscale color in display sizes. Details such as the pointed, slightly hooked terminals and the crisp top serifs on capitals reinforce a sharp, engraved-like impression.
