A high-contrast serif italic with crisp hairlines and strongly tapered thick strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, giving terminals a cut, slightly calligraphic finish. The italic construction shows consistent rightward slant and flowing joins, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and lively curves in letters like a, e, g, and y. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in their stance, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm and clear word shapes; numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-leaning drawing with angled stress.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, captions, or quotations. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where a classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with an editorial polish that reads as literary and refined. Its energetic italic cadence adds a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, balancing elegance with seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a traditional, calligraphy-informed structure, optimized to deliver a refined reading texture and a clear hierarchy between roman and italic styles.
Stroke modulation is prominent across both text and display sizes, producing a bright, sparkling texture in paragraphs. The italic ampersand and the swashy feel of descenders (notably j and y) add personality, while counters remain open enough to keep the texture readable despite the sharp contrast.
