A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, creating a crisp rhythm across words. Capitals are slightly narrow and elegantly slanted, while the lowercase uses compact forms with lively curves, a single-storey italic “a,” and smoothly linked entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic logic with strong contrast and clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, and long-form passages. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a classic italic serif can signal tradition and polish.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic, bookish elegance that feels at home in editorial settings. Its energetic slant and crisp detailing add sophistication and a sense of cultivated formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic influence, balancing readability with elegant stroke modulation. It aims to provide a distinctive, classical italic texture for editorial and literary typography while maintaining a clean, disciplined structure.
The spacing and proportions read well in running text, with a steady baseline and consistent slant that keeps longer passages cohesive. Strong contrast and pointed details give it presence at display sizes, while the italic flow maintains a continuous, text-friendly cadence.
