A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper sharply from thick verticals to hairline joins, with bracketed serifs and occasional wedge-like terminals that give forms a crisp, chiseled finish. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, and many letters show subtly swelling curves and angled stress, creating a lively, handwritten rhythm while remaining firmly in the text-serif tradition. Counters are compact but clear, and the figures echo the same contrast and slanted modulation for a cohesive texture in running text.
This face is well suited to editorial and book settings where a strong italic voice is needed—introductions, emphasis, quotations, and pull quotes. It can also work for refined headlines and branding accents that benefit from a classic, authoritative italic with visible contrast and sharp finishing.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established print culture. Its energetic italic movement adds elegance and a hint of flourish, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that brings calligraphic energy and high-contrast elegance to extended reading contexts. It prioritizes a traditional, print-oriented texture while providing a distinctive slanted character for emphasis and display moments.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly condensed in feeling, while lowercase features more motion and cursive-like joins in places, producing a natural hierarchy. The sharp contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look most confident with adequate size and spacing, where its detailing can remain clean.
