A high-contrast italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals. The strokes show a pronounced modulation, giving letters a crisp hairline-to-stem rhythm and a distinctly calligraphic flow. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and a steady rightward slant; capitals are broad and stately while the lowercase remains compact with a conventional x-height. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied silhouettes, maintaining the same sharp contrast and italic motion.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with a refined texture. It also performs convincingly for display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements—where its contrast and slant can provide elegant hierarchy.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that suggests established print typography. Its pronounced contrast and energetic italic angle add a sense of sophistication and movement, reading as formal without becoming rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif structure infused with an expressive italic calligraphy, balancing familiar proportions with a sharper, more dramatic stroke modulation for polished editorial use.
The design relies on crisp joins and clean curves rather than heavy detailing, so it keeps a clear texture at display sizes while still forming a recognizable, classic text-serif color. Curved letters and diagonals (such as S, C, V, W) carry especially fluid stroke transitions, reinforcing the lively italic cadence.
