A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic construction and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide with crisp wedge-like serifs, while lowercase forms are compact and flowing, with distinctive italic joins and curved entry/exit strokes. Numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and prominent ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a traditional text-face character.
It performs well for long-form editorial use where an italic is needed for emphasis, as well as for book jackets, chapter openers, and pull quotes. The distinctive capitals and high-contrast italics also suit refined invitations, programs, and other formal print pieces that benefit from a classical serif voice.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, evoking classical printing and editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and italic movement communicate elegance and formality, with a slightly dramatic, literary flavor suited to refined messaging rather than casual voice.
The design appears intended as a traditional, print-oriented italic that balances readability with expressive calligraphic motion. Its strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on classical typography and elegant editorial application.
The texture in paragraph setting is energetic and slightly sparkling due to the strong contrast and angled stress. Counters remain open enough for comfortable reading at display-to-text sizes, while the italic shapes and prominent serifs give it a distinctive presence in headings and emphasis.
