A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a clear diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp terminals and pointed joins that give the forms a lively, chiseled edge. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while lowercase shapes keep a steady x-height and flowing, right-leaning movement. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with compact, print-oriented shapes and firm baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended setting. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and front-matter elements, and can add a formal tone to invitations or cultural materials.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, combining formality with a sense of motion. Its sharp, tapering details and classic proportions suggest sophistication and tradition, suited to contexts where a polished voice matters.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-oriented italic that delivers classic serif authority while adding expressive, calligraphic energy. Its contrast and tapered detailing aim to provide elegance and clarity in print-like composition, especially for emphasis and display moments within editorial layouts.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, so letterforms read best when given adequate size and breathing room. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, maintaining a unified slanted texture and an even typographic color in paragraphs.
