A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and sharp, triangular terminals, with clear thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-influenced rather than geometric. Curves are smooth and open, counters are moderately sized, and capitals feel stately with restrained, traditional proportions. Numerals and lowercase share the same lively italic rhythm, with angled stress and slightly variable character widths that create a natural, text-friendly cadence.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, titles within text, and literary or academic material. It can also serve in refined branding and invitations when a traditional, formal serif italic is desired, and it remains clear in paragraph settings at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial tradition, and formal correspondence. Its sharp terminals and energetic italic movement add a sense of sophistication and emphasis without tipping into decorative display.
The design appears intended as a traditional serif italic for continuous text, balancing calligraphic energy with familiar book-type structure. It prioritizes readable rhythm and elegant emphasis, offering a classic companion voice for editorial and literary composition.
The italic construction is consistent across the set, producing a cohesive diagonal flow in words and lines. Pointed joins and tapered entry/exit strokes give the text a lively sparkle, especially in diagonals and curved letters, while maintaining a conventional serif voice.
