A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered strokes that suggest a broad-nib influence. The letterforms show a lively rightward slant with pointed joins and crisp terminals, while maintaining conventional proportions and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are slightly wide and stately, with clean wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions; the lowercase carries the same contrast with neatly finished bowls and compact apertures. Numerals follow the italic flow and contrast pattern, with elegant curves and decisive, hairline-like finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal stationery and invitation work, as well as branding elements that benefit from a classic, cultivated serif italic.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultivated editorial styling. Its energetic italic movement reads as sophisticated rather than flamboyant, lending a sense of authority, formality, and polish.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated typography, emphasizing graceful movement and sharp serif detail while remaining conventional and legible for refined text and display settings.
The strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a crisp, engraved feel at display sizes, while the consistent slant and serif treatment keep it cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. Curved letters show smooth modulation, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X) are drawn with clear, calligraphic stress.
