A high-contrast italic serif with strongly modulated strokes, sharp entry/exit terminals, and crisp bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins and tapered curves that keep counters open despite the contrast. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, while lowercase forms lean toward oldstyle proportions with a readable, moderately tall x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals share the same diagonal stress and contrast, with angled serifs and a flowing, text-like fit.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or narrative texture. It can also work effectively for refined headlines and pull quotes when a traditional, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, evoking book typography and classic editorial settings. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of cultivated drama—more rhetorical and expressive than purely neutral—while still remaining polished and credible for serious reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened elegance and expressive stroke modulation, balancing readability with a distinctly classic, literary voice. Its construction suggests a focus on editorial versatility—clear enough for paragraphs while characterful enough to signal emphasis and hierarchy.
Spacing and stroke rhythm appear tuned for continuous text, with consistent diagonal stress across rounds (C, O, Q) and a cohesive, pen-informed construction in diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y). The italic forms read as intentionally designed rather than mechanically slanted, with distinctive entry strokes and tapered finishes that emphasize motion.
