A high-contrast italic serif with clearly calligraphic construction: thin hairlines and sharp, swelling curves combine with sturdy stems and bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show angled stress, giving bowls and curves a lively, written rhythm. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous ascenders/descenders, and terminals often finish in pointed, tapered flicks (notably in f, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same italic, contrasty logic, with a classic, slightly variable rhythm across characters.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic with presence is needed for emphasis, intros, pull quotes, or section openings. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations and certificates, and can support refined branding when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting literary sophistication and old-world formality. Its energetic italic movement reads expressive without becoming decorative, lending a cultured, editorial voice to text.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with a distinctly calligraphic italic character. The intent appears to balance classic text-serf familiarity with expressive stroke modulation and elegant, tapered detailing for tasteful emphasis.
Uppercase forms are stately and open, with crisp serifs and controlled curves, while the lowercase brings more gesture through extended entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like joins. The italics maintain clarity at display sizes, and the high contrast creates a bright, crisp texture on the page.
