A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller curved strokes, showing a consistent oblique angle and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with tapered entry and exit strokes that create crisp terminals and a lively, slightly variable rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while lowercase letters are more dynamic, with generous curves and distinctive italic constructions (notably in a, f, g, and y). Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and literary titles. It can also serve effectively in formal invitations, packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic, editorial elegance. Its energetic italic movement adds sophistication and a hint of ceremonial flair, making it feel polished and traditional rather than casual or contemporary.
Likely designed as a traditional text-serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic, high-contrast presence. The intention appears to be an elegant companion style for setting refined prose and typographic emphasis without losing classical structure.
Spacing and shapes read cleanly at text sizes, with strong diagonal momentum and pronounced thick–thin transitions that become more prominent as size increases. The design favors graceful curves and tapered joins over blunt endings, which enhances its formal, crafted character.
