A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and distinctly bracketed serifs. The strokes show a strong thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-influenced, with narrow hairlines and weight concentrated in verticals and key diagonals. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase has a flowing, energetic rhythm with pronounced entry/exit strokes and lively, angled stress. Numerals follow the same contrasty, calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that maintain a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited for editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, and display passages. It also fits refined branding and packaging, event materials, and book or magazine titling where high-contrast letterforms can provide a premium, classical feel.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking editorial sophistication and classic book typography. Its pronounced contrast and italic motion add drama and a sense of cultivated formality, making the voice feel upscale and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented italic with strong calligraphic contrast, delivering a formal voice for extended reading and elevated display. Its consistent modulation and sharp serif detailing suggest a focus on traditional typographic polish and expressive emphasis.
In paragraph settings the spacing and italic angle create a continuous, forward-moving line, while the very fine hairlines and sharp terminals give a crisp, engraved-like sparkle. The design favors a refined color and pronounced rhythm over blunt sturdiness, particularly noticeable in the delicate joins and thin connecting strokes.
