A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp wedge-like serifs and delicate hairlines, producing a bright, lively texture. The italic angle is consistent and the letterforms are slightly compact with a relatively short x-height, while capitals are broad and assertive with sculpted curves. Numerals and lowercase share the same energetic rhythm, with teardrop-like joins and angled entry/exit strokes that keep lines moving forward.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—chapter openers, pull quotes, magazine features, and refined headlines. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classical, engraved-like elegance, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and classical printing with a touch of flourish. Its slanted, high-contrast rhythm reads as expressive and cultured rather than neutral, lending an elevated, literary character to headings and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional text-serif italic with strong calligraphic flavor and pronounced contrast, offering a confident, expressive emphasis style. Its proportions and sharp detailing suggest a focus on refined, print-oriented typography where elegance and rhythm are prioritized.
Round letters (like O/C and o/e) show tight inner counters and sharp transition points that heighten contrast, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are brisk and blade-like. The italic lowercase includes a prominent looping descender on g and a lively, hook-ended j/y, reinforcing a handwritten influence without becoming script-like.
