A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and smooth, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from hairline thins to firm stems, with tapered terminals and gently cupped finishing strokes that create a rhythmic, flowing texture. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and slightly narrow letterforms that maintain clear counters despite the contrast. Numerals and capitals follow the same crisp, angled logic, producing an even, composed color in continuous setting.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits formal printed materials—such as invitations or programs—where a classic, high-contrast voice helps establish hierarchy and tone.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp thins and graceful italic movement suggest formality and sophistication rather than casual warmth, lending a poised, cultured voice to headlines and quotations.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes classical proportions, strong contrast, and fluent cursive rhythm for comfortable reading and refined emphasis. The styling aims to deliver a timeless, print-oriented character that feels at home in traditional publishing.
Curves show a consistent diagonal stress, and joins are clean without excess ornament. The italic construction is assertive enough to read as a true italic rather than a simple oblique, with distinctive entry/exit strokes that emphasize motion in longer passages.
