A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with sharp terminals and occasional ball-like finishing on select lowercase forms. Curves are smooth and open, and joins feel calligraphic, producing lively thick–thin modulation throughout. Capitals show traditional proportions and sculpted hairlines, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with gently varied character widths and clear, bookish numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes, as well as literary titling and refined branding lines. It can also serve in longer-form reading contexts when used at appropriate sizes and with attention to reproduction conditions that preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic movement convey elegance and a formal, cultivated voice suited to refined communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor, balancing traditional proportions with energetic stroke modulation. It aims to provide a polished, authoritative companion voice for reading and editorial emphasis while retaining elegance for occasional headline use.
The italic construction is assertive, with long entry/exit strokes and energetic diagonals that add motion in text. At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals read especially crisp, while at smaller sizes the contrast may call for comfortable spacing and sufficient print or screen quality.
