A high-contrast italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals, with a noticeable forward slant and gently flowing joins. Proportions lean traditional: moderate x-height, slightly compact lowercase with lively ascenders/descenders, and rounded bowls that suggest diagonal stress. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, pen-influenced logic, giving text a cohesive, polished texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic warmth. It can also serve in literary titling, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations when a traditional, elegant italic is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial formality that feels cultured and established. Its italic energy reads elegant rather than flashy, projecting a sense of authority and tradition suited to refined communication.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that balances readability with classical sophistication. The combination of strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and flowing italic forms suggests an intention to provide a refined companion style for serious typography rather than a decorative display italic.
In continuous text the contrast and angled strokes create a crisp sparkle, while the italic construction keeps lines moving forward with a natural cadence. Uppercase forms feel dignified and stable, and the lowercase includes several distinctly italic, looped shapes that reinforce a bookish, old-style character.
