A high-contrast italic serif with a strongly calligraphic construction and pronounced diagonal axis. Strokes taper sharply into bracketed serifs and teardrop-like terminals, with lively entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms. Proportions are moderately narrow with fluid rhythm; counters stay open, and round letters show clear diagonal stress. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height and an energetic slant.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interior emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headings where an italic voice is desired. It can also work for formal collateral—invites, announcements, and branded statements—where a classic serif italic texture adds elegance.
The tone is refined and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial voice. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest sophistication and formality rather than casualness, evoking book typography and classic publishing.
This font appears designed as a traditional, high-contrast text italic that prioritizes fluent reading rhythm and a classic, cultivated tone. The consistent calligraphic details and diagonal stress indicate an intention to provide an expressive yet disciplined italic for sophisticated publishing contexts.
The numerals and capitals carry the same sharp contrast and italic sweep, giving a cohesive texture in mixed content. Terminals are consistently pointed and dynamic, helping the face read as a purposeful italic rather than merely slanted roman.
