A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and tapered terminals that give letters a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly narrow, with sharp apexes and fluid curves; the lowercase has a moderate x-height, long ascenders, and energetic entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm. Numerals appear slanted and oldstyle in character, with varying widths and a flowing, text-oriented presence.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve in formal materials—programs, invitations, and refined branding—where a classic serif italic adds elegance and movement.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication without feeling overly ornate. Its italic movement adds warmth and momentum, suggesting tradition, craft, and a classic editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic stroke behavior. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver a refined, classic feel while maintaining an energetic line of text for extended reading or prominent emphasis.
Letterforms favor dynamic diagonals and curved strokes over rigid geometry, producing a varied texture across words. The spacing and slant create a continuous forward flow, while the high contrast and fine hairlines make it feel best suited to careful, quality reproduction rather than rugged settings.
