A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to fuller stems, with tapered terminals and a noticeable slant that carries consistently through caps, lowercase, and figures. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: moderate x-height, compact counters, and flowing joins that keep word shapes cohesive while maintaining crisp detail at the ends of strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also works effectively in refined branding and formal print applications—such as invitations or programs—where high-contrast detail and an elegant slant can be showcased at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal publishing. Its italic motion adds a poised, expressive quality—more refined than playful—suggesting elegance and rhetorical emphasis rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-friendly italic that balances classic serif structure with calligraphic energy. Its consistent contrast, tapered terminals, and controlled proportions suggest an emphasis on readability and typographic tradition while still providing a distinctive, expressive italic color.
Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with clean, pointed serifs, while the lowercase shows more pronounced cursive influence in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, integrating smoothly into text without looking overly decorative.
