A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, tapered entry/exit strokes, and small, neatly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly right-leaning construction with rounded bowls and crisp hairlines that stay consistent across the set. Lowercase features include a two-storey “a” and “g,” a long, descending “f,” and gently cupped terminals, giving the text a rhythmic, flowing texture. Figures follow the same contrast and slant, with narrow, sculpted forms and fine finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other contexts where a classic italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined titling. It can also serve ceremonial or formal materials such as invitations and programs, especially when paired with a compatible roman style.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a bookish elegance that reads as editorial and established. Its lively italic motion adds sophistication and a touch of formality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a traditional, calligraphy-informed structure, prioritizing elegance and readable rhythm in continuous text while retaining enough character for display-sized emphasis.
Capitals are stately and open, with restrained detailing and a balanced presence alongside the energetic lowercase. In longer lines, the strong contrast and sharp hairlines create a bright, shimmering texture that feels best when given adequate size and spacing.
