A sharply modulated serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp bracketed serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant and tapered terminals, with smooth, calligraphy-informed curves and compact joins. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with expressive ascenders and descenders. Overall spacing and rhythm are even, giving text a composed, continuous flow without looking mechanical.
Performs well for continuous reading in editorial contexts—books, long-form articles, and magazine features—where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works effectively for refined display settings such as invitations, programs, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an old-style, bookish warmth tempered by a clean, high-contrast finish. It reads as polished and somewhat formal, suited to content that wants authority and sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a classic text-serif italic that brings calligraphic movement to modern typesetting. Its strong contrast and disciplined serif structure aim to deliver an articulate, elevated tone while keeping paragraph rhythm stable and legible.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic as the letters, producing a cohesive color in mixed text. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show confident stroke tapering that adds energy at larger sizes while staying controlled in paragraphs.
