A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic strokes and crisp bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress, with thin hairlines and sharper terminals balanced by sturdy main stems. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with generous curves, while the lowercase is lively and flowing, featuring compact counters and a consistent rightward slant. Figures match the text rhythm, mixing rounded forms with incisive entry and exit strokes that keep the line energetic.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as pull quotes, intros, and italic emphasis in books or magazines, as well as refined branding where a traditional voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in formal materials like invitations or certificates, particularly at display and subhead sizes where the contrast and detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial tradition and old-style book typography with a more dramatic, italic emphasis. It reads as polished and expressive rather than neutral, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headings and highlighted passages.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm—aimed at elegant emphasis, classical tone, and a premium editorial feel.
The design’s strong thick–thin modulation and fine hairlines create a bright texture at larger sizes, while the italic construction adds momentum and a handwritten echo without becoming script-like. Curves and joins feel deliberately shaped, giving words a slightly swashy, lively silhouette in continuous text.
