A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry/exit strokes and finely cut wedge-like serifs. Letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous cursive rhythm while remaining clearly text-oriented rather than script-like. Curves are taut and elliptical, with narrow hairlines, emphasized diagonal stress, and crisp terminals that often finish in subtle hooks. Capitals are slightly swashed in feel without becoming decorative, and numerals share the same angled, calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited for italic roles in long-form typography such as books, essays, and magazines, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It can also serve in formal stationery and event materials where an elegant italic voice is desired, and in branding accents when used at moderate to large sizes.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—poised and cultivated, with a hint of old-world formality. Its lively italic motion adds sophistication and forward energy, making the overall voice feel editorial and premium rather than casual.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a lively italic, balancing readability with a distinctly refined, calligraphic edge. The intention appears to be an italic that feels traditional and bookish while still delivering sharpness and character in display-like applications.
Stroke contrast is pronounced, so spacing and internal counters read best when given some air. The italic construction produces a consistent diagonal flow across words, with distinctive angled joins and pointed terminals that create a crisp, engraved-like texture on the page.
