A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic construction and crisp, bracketed serifs. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and an angled stress, with tapered terminals and pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a forward, flowing texture. Proportions are moderately wide with visible glyph-to-glyph variation, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm; capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed compared to the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing sharp beaks and curved bowls for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where an italic with personality is desirable, such as introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within long-form text. It can also serve in display sizes for classic headlines and formal invitations where high contrast and calligraphic motion are welcome.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing convey formality and tradition while still feeling animated and expressive on the page.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic that prioritizes elegant contrast and calligraphic movement, offering a distinctive, formal voice for emphasis and sophisticated reading environments.
The italic forms are assertive, with prominent diagonals (notably in v/w/x/y) and strong, sculpted curves in round letters and the Q. In text, the contrast and compact joins create a dark, authoritative presence that reads as intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
