A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic slant and crisp hairlines against weighty stems. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into pointed terminals, with occasional swash-like hooks on descenders and entry strokes that add motion. The lowercase is slightly more fluid than the uppercase, with rounded, oldstyle-style figures and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture that creates strong diagonal emphasis across words.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is desired, such as book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work for formal communications like invitations or certificates when a classic, high-contrast italic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with a distinctly literary, old-world elegance. Its energetic italic movement and occasional flourished terminals add a touch of drama and charm without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation enlivened by a more calligraphic italic construction, giving text a poised, classical character while maintaining strong emphasis and a distinctive rhythm in setting.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and formal, while the lowercase shows more personality through curved joins and expressive tails. Numerals appear oldstyle and blend smoothly with lowercase text, reinforcing a continuous, text-oriented color.
