A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke modulation. The forms lean consistently with narrow joins, tapered terminals, and crisp hairlines that heighten the light–dark rhythm. Counters are relatively open for an italic, with smooth, rounded bowls and clear diagonal stress. Capitals feel poised and slightly swashy in their curves, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and a flowing, pen-informed construction; numerals match the same contrast and slanted stance for a cohesive texture in mixed setting.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or article titling, pull quotes, and other display-accent roles where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve in formal stationery and branding systems that need a classic, cultivated accent, especially when used at moderate to larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, with a literary, old-world polish that reads as confident and cultivated. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of motion and sophistication, making it feel suited to refined, expressive typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
Likely designed as a classic italic companion with pronounced calligraphic influence—meant to provide an expressive, refined emphasis while staying within conventional serif expectations for literary and editorial work.
In text, the strong contrast and pronounced italics create a rhythmic, sparkling line that benefits from comfortable sizes and adequate spacing. Distinctive italic gestures (notably in curved capitals and the more calligraphic lowercase) give it personality, while the consistent stress and serif treatment keep the style disciplined and classical.
