This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a crisp, calligraphic flow. Stems taper and flare into bracketed serifs, and terminals often finish in sharp, angled wedges that reinforce the slanted rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, with narrow joins and decisive entry/exit strokes; counters stay fairly open despite the high contrast. Overall spacing and letterfit feel measured and text-oriented, while the slant and swash-like terminals add motion.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic with personality is needed—magazine headlines, subheads, standfirsts, and pull quotes. It also fits book interiors for emphasis and titling, and works effectively in refined branding contexts where a classic, cultured impression is desired.
The tone is refined and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its energetic italics and sharp finishing strokes give it a confident, expressive voice without becoming decorative or informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, text-ready italic with heightened contrast and expressive, flared finishing strokes—balancing readability with a distinctly crafted, calligraphic presence.
Capitals read stately and gently calligraphic, while lowercase forms emphasize a lively diagonal stress. Numerals follow the same contrast and wedge-terminal logic, presenting as elegant display figures that still sit comfortably alongside text.
