A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke model. The letterforms show diagonal stress, tapered joins, and sharp wedge-like terminals, with a lively rhythm created by pronounced slant and varied stroke endings. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide in round letters, while lowercase forms are fluid and compact with clear entry/exit strokes and a single-storey italic ‘a’. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with noticeable height variation and elegant curves, reinforcing a bookish, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and long-form italics, pull quotes, and magazine features where a classic italic voice is needed. It can also serve in formal invitations, cultural branding, and refined headlines that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and humanist handwriting influences. It feels formal without being stiff, with a lively italic movement that adds warmth and sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes classical proportions and calligraphic energy. Its role is to provide an authoritative, refined companion for reading and editorial settings while adding expressive emphasis through a pronounced, traditional italic form.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke contrast create a bright, polished page color at larger sizes, with the italic angle giving headlines and short passages strong forward momentum. The sharpness of terminals and thin hairlines suggests it will look most comfortable with adequate size and resolution where fine details can hold.
