A high-contrast italic serif with a clearly calligraphic construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to sturdy stems, with sharp entry/exit terminals and neatly bracketed serifs that keep the texture crisp. The capitals are stately and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm, compact counters, and italic forms with angled stress. Overall spacing reads open enough for text, with a distinctly animated line due to the contrast and sweeping diagonals.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes, and it also performs convincingly in refined display roles like invitations, programs, and formal announcements. The pronounced contrast and slant give it presence at larger sizes while remaining organized enough for continuous reading in text settings.
The face conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional, with a sense of ceremony. Its energetic italic movement adds sophistication and drama, leaning toward cultured, editorial refinement rather than casual warmth.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif foundation with a distinctly expressive italic character, balancing readability with a calligraphic, high-contrast flourish. The intent appears to be an elegant, classical companion for serious publishing and formal communication where typographic nuance matters.
Figures follow the same italic logic, with curved forms and strong thick–thin modulation that visually ties them to the text. The glyph set shown maintains consistent slant and contrast across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a coherent, authoritative texture in paragraphs and larger settings.
