This is a high-contrast italic serif with a broad stance and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes move from hairline thins to confident thick diagonals, with tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than geometric. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, while joins and entry strokes create a smooth forward rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and angled stress, giving the face a cohesive, print-oriented texture.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry presence—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form quotations. The strong contrast and flowing shapes also work well for refined titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations where a classic, polished italic is desired.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, with a distinctly literary elegance. Its motion and contrast evoke classical book typography and formal correspondence, leaning toward sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened elegance: strong contrast, a wide set, and calligraphic detailing that reads clearly while adding personality. It aims to provide a graceful, authoritative italic style that can stand on its own in display settings yet still hold together in continuous text.
Spacing reads open and breathable in text, supporting the face’s wide italic forms without looking cramped. The italic is expressive but controlled, with consistent stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures that keeps paragraphs looking orderly.
