A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are text-oriented with moderate x-height, open counters, and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture; capitals are stately and relatively narrow while lowercase forms vary more in width. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, mixing ascenders/descenders and curved joins that match the italic flow.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running heads. It also works effectively for refined short-form typography—such as invitations, programs, and branded collateral—where contrast and classical detailing can carry a premium tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, balancing formality with a lively italic energy. Its contrast and tapering details evoke book typography and editorial sophistication, suggesting a voice that is refined, articulate, and slightly dramatic rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while retaining classical, calligraphy-influenced elegance. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle-feeling figures aim to integrate seamlessly into traditional typography systems for print-like composition.
The italic construction is emphasized by curved entry/exit strokes and softly hooked terminals on several lowercase letters, producing a continuous reading rhythm. Spacing appears tuned for text, with smooth joins and consistent contrast that keeps long passages cohesive while still feeling decorative at larger sizes.
